So how much did the bushings and flares cost? I'm interested because I plan on putting 35's with 2" spacers and need wider flares. How wide are those flares? Also I plan on using poly bushings when it's time to replace them and don't know what to get. There seem to be different firmness ones out there.
I just checked the estimate from Marc and the 4 fiberglass flares (unpainted) were in the $950ish range and the bushings were in the $450ish range. These came from Germany so I am sure there is shipping and taxes involved.
It would be nice to have durometer data for the various poly bushings so people can make educated choices. I can say that they yellow ones seem to be almost rigid. That is what I need for the portals on the heavy camper so that is okay. That might not be best for a standard G. You will definitely need somebody with a hydraulic press to install the bushes.
I'd talk to GFG or ORC as they seem to have a lot of G wagen suspension experience. I took the easy route and got everything thru Marc at
www.ocdcustomcycles.com. He is German so he doesn't have the language barrier. His shop is currently mostly about motorcycles and racing but he has a loyal G following. If you have any questions regarding his GWagen qualifications check out his bio on his site.
I'll get you some flare measurements later.
Here is a pic showing the flares. I'm going to shape the ends as I'm not super fond of how they look out of the box.
