A bit of detail on changing the front wheel hubs here:

In my very small amount of experience I've found that keeping your wheels in contact with the ground is the key to 4wd-ing. Your standard shock absorbers are significantly limiting the amount of travel in your suspension. I did the top-hat flip for the front with standard struts and put some longer shocks in the rear.

You also need a A-arm spacer equal to the amount of spring lift you did!

This is the only snorkel I've found.

You'll have to move the indicator as this one partially goes through the existing indicator.

How soon are you looking at doing these mods as I'm looking at getting rid of some of my suspension gear. I've got longer rear shocks, front strut spacers and an arm spacer.

Hi,
If this is any help, this is what I've done to my SWB V6.
Old Man Emu Grand Vit LWB shocks & springs , Bit's 4 Vit's 1.5" lift kit + rear axle / prop spacer kit.
I didn't use the front strut spacer's as the strut flip looked better way of getting lift, I'm just waiting on the V6 front axle drop bracket's, they should be here next week.

It'll be at least a month before I have the parts off.

where do you get the bushes for th a arm

Picked them up from the local suspension shop from memory, cant remember how much, but probably wasn't too expensive. You need a press to get the old bushes out, I think I just used a scissor jack
