It was touch and go Greg. I DO have the R33 rear (was wrong above). In Indo Papua now so apols for the delay. Not sure what off sets/backspaces/tyres you used and whether the problem is front and rear? I had my suspension set up in a preliminary way by Warwick's suspension guy at Labrador (very cheap) and then finished the job up the Sunshine Coast with a local specialist. The wheels tucked in a good deal and they angle out a little at the base anyway with the suspension settings (using Warwick's suggested settings) and that seemed to do most of the rest. Ride height can also be an issue. I used the same settings and tyres as a former customer of Warwick's these were 'just' OK at rego. I would be even more conservative if I did it again (i.e., do exactly what Warwick suggested). I also suspect that the RHS rear on the Harrison is a little offset towards the centre - that is more prone to protrusion than the LHS. Importantly is was registered and drives superbly on the road - like the proverbial 'rock'. 2000ks with no probs.
