Whoops, missed, tyres are at 23psi as recommended by Suzuki (inside the door slam) but will be adjusted as the tyres are a completely different beast to stock ones...

Happy to report though, at 2" (trailmaster) suspension lift (and 2" bodylift) and 235/75's I have no wobbles, not much vagueness, will be fitting a steering damper soon though, and will have a complete kingpin replacement set of everything ready for the axle teardown to get the replacement diffs in...

And, comparing the two...

S200KYS = 49" to the bottom of the mirror

BT54VTS = 47.5" to the bottom of the mirror...

S200KYS has a 4" suspension lift, no bodylift and 31"x10.5" tyres

BT54VTS has 29" tyres (235.75/15) so S200KYS has an extra inch there, I suspect the other half an inch difference is the trailmaster kit? Or S200KYS's lift is more than 4"? They are +3" diesel front springs all round with 1.5" spring spacers on the front...
