It looks like there isn't a readily available kit for the 2x4 Ranger as my axle is on top of the springs . Marcle are seeing if there are any options. Has anyone else fitted a kit to his truck ?

I think I can get a universal kit and make some brackets. I suspect there may be a space issue suppose all our springs are roughly at the same height, but as my axle is on top of the springs. Is there enough room to fit the bags .

Can someone give me an idea of space required between the chassis and what ever is underneath ?
Thanks Jim

This kit has brackets that would go on top of the axle, held by the u-bolts.

Some useful info
I have been in touch with the Australian supplier . They state the space required is min 150mm , 180mm is better . I have measured mine and I have about 170mm.
There kit works out to a little over £400 Inc post , but I guess I would have to pay VAT at customs . Is VAT payable on th carriage part ?

I have found a UK supplier for the 2x4
http://www.pedders.co.uk/index.php
They use Australian bags . They don't stock my kit , £500 if I want it now or £433 if I can wait 3-5 months for the next shipment.
