Thanks for the feedback on the differences in experience between the tyre sizes. Was a worry for me how it would handle with the taller profile relative to the width. I run that size now but only on my camper.

How are people getting around that? Spacers?

So I was wondering if anyone knew how I would be able to get the superlift into Australia for cheaper than $2600? (That was the quote on shipping I got)

Those CL's are nice

Also curious as to the JK rims you have?

Hey Briteway, how did you go about the shipping, and what L/100km do you get with it?

Hi Kane, the shipping of the Superlift was around $1500 USD. From memory, I think the kit costed just under $5K AUD landed.

Fuel usage varies. On the CRD it didn't change much. On the HEMI, it's the usual variables, a couple of litres per 100 higher.

Hey thanks for the info mate, does it have nice road manners with the 4 inch? I just sold my 4 inch lifted wrangler :'D was daily driving it and it just wasn't too comfy.
