If you are trying to gain tyre clearance then body lift is a better option.

Longer shackles aren't really designed to give lift, they are to use with longer springs to stop the shackles inverting, thats the only real reason for using them...

Sweet body lift it is, ive already got longer shocks and brake lines, and shock hoops and stuff, would I need to use drive sharft spases with a 4" lift ?

And do I need to use a hi steer kit, cause I have one of them from low range

Well if no one buys my spoa kit that ive put on the for sales section ill just keep it and use the spacer and extended brake line that are in it,

This might be a better way to lift then spoa

I ran 32 on mine and all I had was 2" spring and ext bump stops and ext shackles. And all I did was got the inside of the guards with a hammer . Never had a drama

Hopefuly with the 3" spring lift and 1" body lift I wont need to change the bump stops or hammer the guards so I can keep as much flex as possible

But might hammer the guards just in case

But thats the plan so hopefuly it works out good

uptravel is over rated i reckon.
50-100mm uptravel is sweet i reckon, but that just suits me.
