4" suspension lift, 3" body lift? was created by Bibby
:blink:

okay, so im thinking of getting a ORA (Off Road Armory) 4" suspension lift and a 3" Zanf.it body lift. has anyone used these or got any feed back on them? are they good are they bad etc.
also any advise? the reason for doing this is to fit some 31" tires in and still have a heap of room for articulation.
anyhow any help would be great thanks

ORA stuff is great & proven.

For body lifts I would look to the Bigjimny shop or bits4vits. I know they will be the easiest to fit.

But why 3"?
1" bodylift is fine, if needed at all.

I'd start out with the suspension lift first, then see how it goes.

Also a 3" bodylift raises COG pretty much.

the reason i was thinking of 3" is because im worrying that just the sus lift wont be enough room for the 31"s to flex properly if you have any knowledge on it would really help

and yeah i am going with the 4" sus lift first to see how it comes out etc

thanks guys

yeah the ZANF.it kit comes with brake lines and steering column extensions, but thanks for the help, is your tranny and drive line all stock to push those 32" tires or do you have new gearing?

Around £400 for the rocklobster transferbox itself. But you'll need a kit for fitting it and a couple of prop-shafts.

So anything between £400 and £600, depending on how much you can make yourself and have lying around.

Well I run 27" tyres and I think low range isn't low enough, standard transferbox with 31's must be awful.

Anything above 31" is just for show no matter what.
And 31" tyres is fine with the standard transferbox, as long as it's for road use.

If you're building for offroad, then a rocklobster is mandatory, no matter tyresize.
