lifting

[burge]

hi guys been thinking about lifting me truck whats the normal lift height as i would be using the truck on road aswell also would it be worth puttin some wheel spacers on. cheers burge

Model dependant, 2" is a simple suspension lift. More is possible with a bit of sweat tears and money. Body lift again 1.5-2" is easy, more needs...... Once one or more is done bigger tyres can go on adding to the lift.

It can get a bit self perpetuating if you let it Budget an time are the only real limits.

personally (in my own opinion) it's not worth getting wheel spacers ...

this is how my wheels sit without spacers


as for a lift .....do you have cart or coils on the rear end

its a swb 2.0i l reg i what you mean about spacers i should get some fat tyres instead i only want to jack it up abit stick some meaty tyres on so it looks abit meaner lol

you can get 31" tyres under the arches without jacking it up
