It happens every time I go on their website....

They go and make another thing that I just have to have Rolling Eyes

Independent 4x 1" body lift kit

Means I could go to 33-12.50R16 s without worrying about them hitting the body on full twist Very Happy

you thinking of importing the kit?? every inch does count, gonna tackle 2.5 to 3 inch suspension soon when take truck off the road, body lift would come in handy too!

I was thinking of going 2 or 3 inches, only it starts getting very complicated where the winch bar and the snorkel are concerned. A 1 inch body lift is a lot less involved.

Yes, I will order the kit, probably in a few weeks, along with a set of these;

Coz, as the club members who helped to recover my motor when I snapped one, will tell you, there is nowt worse than a snapped tie rod Laughing

now thats a tie rod Very Happy

gonna have a good read of the suspension lift how to, need new ball joints on the front and a good overhaul all round so gonna do all at same time, might look into a body lift after done all of that if still needing more clearance! i'd be interested to know how you get on with it and what else will need modifiying along the way.

well to be honest,,i am quite amazed at the amount of twist I can get outta my standard motor,,its more than ample for me,,its just the ground clearence that needs a bit of attention,,,but suppose i get more articulation with a lift so cant really complain
