Gwyn Lewis Challenge Suspension Kit
I will be taking delivery of all the parts for the above kit tomorrow!! I hope to get it all fitted over the weekend.

I hope this will turn my Puma 90 into an off road monster without doing to much damage to its on road performance. I have gone with all OME setup as Gwyn says it will handle better than standard!!

Wish me luck as I haven't done this before!! I will try to get pics of a before and after.

You'll love it. It was great on my 90. Looking forward to putting it on my 110 once the warranty is finished

This all sound positive so far!

Gwyn also recommended I put a set of 285/75/16 on my truck as well. So I treated myself to a set of BF Goodrich KM2's. My old 265 KM2's are on Ebay now, I dont really think I will have lost that much money on them.

I am only lifting suspension 1" as it will eat prop shafts.

Rear Shocks mounted!! Took a few hours as I had to relocate the fuel filter and remove the old bush cups on the axle. Took more time than I thought it would!!!

I hope to have finished tomorrow Cool
