i know if you go 80mm springs you need better shocks( will limit flex if not) and a 100mm drop box... ive spoken to the guys from dobinsons and it is possible.. im about to do it on mine when cash arrives cause i want more lift to run 33's under it.

Spacer's will give a lil more height, no extra flex & you shocky WILL top out unless you get longer one's..

& ODA's a dick..

not unless you're working full time or wanna save like crazy for a while... I built my car while working 10hrs a week at woolworths.
Anything is possible, just aim for it.

16 & you need more height??

for what??

Spacer's ARE illegal for good reason, even in the pic in that link thay don't sit right ( nothing against the manufacturer) & the spring can "walk" around in the saddle, causeing it to damage other thing's around it, I.e, BRAKE LINE'S, those thing's are handy by the way..

Blake I have the same set up as you and don't have any troubles running 30 inch tyres. It looks in proportion and performs well

Bring it to the glasshouse mountains when we go and wheel the shit out of it :twisted: Then improve what you think is a weak point. The setup you have, you will most likely be happy with after a GH session
