Thanks Nick, I thought that maybe the case but I wasn't 100% sure.
They are nice and light, thats the beauty of them also.

Made a TV mount with multi wall brackets so TV can be moved about depending where we're sitting. I have mounted wall plugs and 12v outlets at each mount to keep leads to a minumen.
The TV svivel mount simply slides into the wall bracket.

OK, got abit more done.
I rotated the axles as they are drop axles so gained about three inches there, then added 10" electric brakes to the rear axle(now has brakes on all wheels) and toyota 6 stud drums. Then fitted 15x7(up from 14x6) wheels and 30x9.5-15(up from 185-14) so gained about another three inches there.
One new and one old
New wheels look just right
Also fitted a rear tube to store hoses in.
When I had the axles out to swap over the spring locating plates, I noticed that there were gring marks on the axle where I was welding the plates to so at one stage(from factory?) the axle was set up how I now have it(reversed drop axles).

Oh yeah, also had to add 4"s into my jockey wheel as it was to short with the lift.
And sorry about pic quality, was getting dark when taken.

Well I had thought about it but read abit on the net and it was met with mixed responses, some said the axles were designed as drop axles only and it would weaken them turning them over but I had a mate over the other day looking at it who happens to be an engineer and said it wouldnt matter which way they were so it was an easy height gain and saved a bit of coin too.
Jayco are going to do mine $440. No problems at all. Just a matter of choosing between extra ground clearance or minimising height for storage, etc.
Finally, we are hooked up ready to head off in the morning for our first run with the van, cant wait.
Great stuff MM, you sure dont do things by halves :yo:
The Discovery looks at home behind the Cruiser, have a good trip.

Nice and neat outfit Moto mech, like the alluminium checker plate front and side much different to the first photo's.
Enjoy the trip

Nice one mm. Can't believe you have been working on this van since July. It really does look excellent.
