Where did you get that bumper extention from ?? looks like two good recovery points, I could do with that !

Sorry for the delay, I've only just seen your question. It's not a bumper extension, it's a complete winch bumper designed for the Fairey PTO winch. The ends are bolt-on too.
It's got to be the heaviest bumper I've ever seen and I've never seen another like it.
It came with the winch secondhand, so I've no idea where you'd get one from.

Military shackles will give you a bit and they are simple to put on.
Dont reverse you axle mounts, summat will go wrong.

How bad can it be? I don't drive my landy hard enough to get roll issues on road and being mine is a pure off road toy the chances of having to use evasive action at say motorway speeds is slim. However I have had my standard issues ground anchors get me caught plenty of times...

This photo shows just how much they protrude and unlike the diff casing which is rounded these aren't going to slide over the top of mud... There going to dig, and dig deep they do

Suzukis have a reputation of being unstable as standard, my mates has SPOA and it rides quite well. Surely can't be much worse with a series?

As i see it youll have the following problems
1. Higher cog with thin tracks- u will tend to rollover than get stuck!
Can try
. Wider diffs
. Spacers
. Offset rims
to get a wider track
2. Wil need longer shakles
3.The kinpin angle can be set at the time of welding the leaf spring seat onto the diff so that is not a issue.
You can always try it, if its to unstable only thing u need to do is grindoff the new spring seats(optional!) and get the old shakles back!!
