Right as I now have my truck on a full time basis I am thinking of lifiting it slightly to give me space for some bigger tyres.

whats the score guys? Whats the max lift i can get before i have to change the brake lines? if i lift the body only by say 2 inches whats the biggest wheels and tyres i can fit?

I'm not really that interested in doing a suspension lift but if the overwhelming weight of advice is to do so i may consider it.

Does anyone have a recommendation for lift kits and manufacturers?

bear in mind i am in an 05 classic warrior so i cant get the thailand 7" lift kit.....:P

cheers

look in the how to
its all covered in there bud

ok my search thingy didn't work i searched "lift" and got no results hence why i posted.....ah well cheers mate i'll have to think about it then if i need to replace brake flexi's for 1.5" then i may as well go mad and lift it higher.

cheers

aye check the threads malky, but i wish i `d lifted mine x3" instead of 2" - in my gallery the 33x12.5 x15 kumho`s still rubbed on turn and compression of the suspension - big tyres mind
the 265x70x16 now are just peachy. - do you have spacers on yet?

Nope not yet only had the truck back in my posession for two months the missus got promoted and given a works motor so i got my truck back

I'm gonna lift mine 2inches plus shackles on the rear don't want to put the centre of gravity much higher lol

big wheel spacers and wide tyres rob widen the lateral track go as high as you like as long as you balance the books i guess

doesn`t make any stability issues rob - hasn`t with mine anyhow

Now that I have wider wheels on mine it does feel more stable, bleh will see what money I have when I come to carry the work out

if you`ve not got spacers - its like installing railway tracks!

body lift requiers extended break lines were sus lift dont

They do that proper lift kit for the classics to kid, have a proper check.

For the price of a suspension lift its daft not to if your wanting a lift. A 2" bodylift will need flexi's like, if your wanting a lift i say go for suspension first then bodylift then big tyres

hear hear

Stick cheers for the words, i'm thinking ignoring such sage advice would be potentially foolhardy so I'll look at suspension lift first, mind - i already have my eye on a 3" body lift kit now after some digging about,.

ach it'll be next year now before i start too bloody close to the fat fella in the red suit turning up.
