Gentle lift

[Jon Bisson GSY]

Hi,
I do a lot of free camping across europe and would like to get a bit of extra ground clearance by raising the suspension 40mm or a bit more. Any ideas? or is it as simple as getting hold of some syncro springs?
I am also looking to get some alloy wheels that are a bit more heavy duty, any ideas.
Thanks,
Jon

Merc ml alloys on a/t tyres!

Syncro springs will lift the rear slightly, & I'm not sure how much, but don't think you'll get 40mm? the fronts are mounted differently so would lower a 2wd! best idea would be spring spacers imho, though taller tyres will help depending on engine power/expected mpg?

Or a full syncro front subframe could be fitted...you would need all the parts and a pair of outer cv joints minus the gubbins...be ideal for a future upgrade to 4x4....

And you might have to fit longer shocks to stop them topping out or fit something simple like this,

Hope it helps
