He probably drilled the locating hole in the axle in the wrong place!!
Dont forget Milner did tell him they had cured the problem with the 14mm locating stud back to 12mm. "ha ha"

Right. For once I'm going to show you I AM semi intelligent. :wink:

Just been doing a bit of maths and wizardary on computer to explain why the rear end seems out of alignment with the arches.

First a few measurements.

Front end lifted by 1.25"

Rear end lifted by 4.00"

Below is a picture. The coloured section is without the lift.

The black and white section is how the vehicle looks with the added lift dimensions.

Now i hope you agree, this now claifiies why the geometry looks a little odd.

Don't forget I have only techincally added +2" extended read shackles. The extra 2" is from the springs. After a few weeks, the rear springs should drop by about an inch or so, shorting the gap even further.

Thanks for all those who commented. If any one has any other suggestions or theories, please post them.
