i suppose the best option is to fit the 31's and see but im sure the body lift will help, but also you will need to do some arch work, here's how much of mine was removed, and i get no rubbing form the tyres

Thanks for that and the 'other', Rus. Order tomorrow.

Bit more work involved than I first thought though.

Oh well, we'll see.

What lift you got on that?

I have 2.5" Rhino Ray spring lift and the means to lift the body 2". (just not got round to it yet) I have Rays bigger (or lesser?) offset wheels so track is a little wider. No wheel spacers.
Would I need, in your opinion, the body lift to fit the 31 Recips?

Now my knee is getting a little better and the weather, I'm getting the urge to clear the garage out and do some work on Jim.

Sorry if I've nicked the thread a bit? :blush:

You could also fit 2" spring spacers to get the same effect - I have a 3" lift and 2"spring spacers and 31" special tracks on (which measure 32+") and 30mm wheel spacers
Only hits the plastic wheel arches on full flex (well hits the wheel arch extensions really) - not the inner arches

I thought it was +3 springs and body lift on Bluejimny. Just spotted you have b4v spacers aswell. Very happy with my recent order of +3 springs last month (Thanks), i've used b4v spacers aswell giving 4.5' lift. Id love to do a body lift aswell, but I cannot understand why b4v/ jimnybits/martin ect don't do a spacer for the steering aswell.
