Better type something theres nothing in here in a while.

I got my 2" spacer and JKS discos from the US.

Took 3 days to get here not bad.

The discos are great, piece of piss to fit, quiet, dead easy to disconnect.

The 2" spacer was a bit of a bitch (Im not a mechanic) rear pretty easy, front a lot harder.

Im at a bit over 4" now so its pretty good just need some rock rails and Im sweet (And get the engine working right).

I got a 2" spacer lift with bump stops from a place in the us with some JKS discos for $300 delivered.

I had already got some OME springs which are about 2" so 4" all up.

No Ive got no problem with the suspension just a few other bits of crap I need to fix like exhaust (Ive had it fixed twice!)

No vibes if I went any higher Im sure I get some.

I only run 31x10.5 Cooper ST dont want to go any bigger, Ive got 4.56 and I still think its crapish.

I havent been offroad at all with this setup been bussy but I might get to go with the lads on the Ormeau trip in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for your help.
I have wj with ome lift it is only about 1.5inch and would like to use 2inch spacers as well but worried about any problems that might arise.
Currently running 255/70-16 cooper A/T But would like to use 265/75-16
Tyres already rub on rear shocks. But would really like extra ground clearance.

Do they catch on the front mud guards at full lock?
Do you have std 7" wide wheels?
Is yours Laredo which is a little taller than the others to start with - I'm guessing it is with the 16" dia wheels.?
Do you cruise around Nrman Pk/ Bulimba way? - may have spotted you there.
