apart from looking cool what advantages are there going that high on the body. presuming your stretching the rear arms ect it seems a hellish amount of work for an extra 1"

I wasn't saying that it's necessarily a good or bad thing, just food for thought, a bit of syncro polemic to chew on.

I had a look today and a 20mm-30mm lift is achievable I reckon. You wouldn't need to touch CV angles so I think it's quite possible?

Gear linkage would be affected....maybe could be worked round, also the under body protection bars are fitted to the subframe up front but the body at the rear...so would need attention.

The joys of living in Ireland :wink: was considering doing this to Tinkerbelle just to improve the approach and departure angles and also to be able to fit monster wheels may still do it yet but she seems happy as she is ATM :D
