Spacing down the ARB is probably a good idea but I think the issue is more likely to be the angle of the bottom arm.
pickys of yours would be good, and the measurements from the gutter to the centre of both the front and rear driveshafts would help as the wheel arches have been modified
Shouldn't be any different to mine or mudlarks that simon did as springs are the same and altho the shocks are different should be near enough. Might be worth checking Andreas lidl's thread to see if then can be seen on his Photos ?

The whole rebuilding is awesome. And underneath is amazing... I would be there watching the bushes, suspension, suspension frames for hours...
Congratulations! Don't think about greenlaning please!!!!

Looks awesome. Puts me in mind of the Tigerbus (not the colours or design
) for the amount of effort that has gone into this project. How's the EJ25 doing? Have you done an interior?

Hi Dai
i was thinking of these for your front suspension travel, just make up a bracket to fit them on
cheap and easy to replace if they take a beating
