Go for the mu
If it doesnt work hit it, if it still doesnt work shoot it

The bloke I work with has one
2 inch suspension lift, reset leaves in rear and wound up torsion bars with ball joint flip and diff drop. 2 inch body lift.
33x12.5 bighorns on 15x8 steel rims only just clear rear of front guards when turning and front bumper had to be trimmed. Factory rear lsd and front lsd.
The diff drop was done as with the ball joint flip at full droop it would pull the cv's back out of the hub. The diff drop is 25mm from memory and only just clears the steering.

It goes really well off road and has embarrassed a few hilux and safari owners.
