Are you going to 33's?

1) Always a good idea

2) Extended brake lines, dropped rear panhard rod, extend swaybar links, you might need longer shocks - adjustable control arms would be nice to get the pinion angles right -

3) They stop your tyres from rubbing on your guards with too much flex.

But hey there is more than one way to do it, so ask around. I would say a 2'' body lift is the easier way out.

(actually don't listen to me - i have a habbit of spending more money than i have )

OK,

1) For a 4" lift in total you'll need to look at an SYE, ARB in browns plains ask for Steve, or you can also go to Eddie at 4x4 USA.

2)Brake line brackets will need to be added to drop you're brakes lines at the front, bracket to drop you're rear panhard rod if not done already. Sway bar links will need to be exteneded along with shocks.

3) Bump stops are not part of you're shock m8 they are the yellow rubber thing you see on the inside of you're coil, they limit upwards motion on you're suspension. So when you're coil is out when you're putting in the spacer you'll need to extend the bump stop by at least 40mm.


OR

Go a 2" body lift, no need to change you're current suspension set-up.

ok... thanks for the info... as a personal recommendation then... would i be better off going for a 2" body lift or a spacer lift? i want to go up to 33"s. but would like a bit more clearance... i gues the bigger tyres will do that anyway. but which one would you recommend???
