| What Ho, fellow jimny chap. Do a 3" lift although they don't overly need anything to be capable, look at pictures from briercliffe, mine is the black one 30" tyres 3" lift they don't catch and it articulates plenty.the silver one is standard bar 195 80 at tyres.cheap route would be 29" tyres 2" body lift. It'd drive proper on the road too and still have 5th gear ish ?. There some tyres on for sale section.get big offset grand vitara steel rims 16" they balance better and fill arches. | |

| It's about that its defo limo,it needs re doing I gave scratched it. I was going to buy a big reel of the stuff.firstly I would check your boot floor and floor under rear seats,you may find some floor left if your lucky ? Least you will know how much funds you will have left.for the sake of a hundred quid id be tempted to have a go at the body lift then use it before you do £1200 on suspension and sorting geometry ? There's not a lot wrong with standard suspension just need to be able to fit bigger tyres on to get more clearance.I'm going to make some body lift spacers soon as nylon bashing I ordered arrives and I can get to lathe. | |
