I haven't lifted it at all :shock: Guy I bought it off reckons the NZ New ones were about 2" higher than the imports from the factory (maybe an owner before him lifted it).

I just wanted to see if they'd fit and was surprised how much clearance they had:

In the photo i've jacked up off the diff and thats the downhill side of the truck so when sitting normally should have a little more room under the wheel arch.

The front looks like its sagged a bit when compared to the rear. Planning on running 33x12.5x15 BFG ATs for the road/beach but these swampers will get run on our club shiny trips :D

I'm after some 2" lift springs for the front if anyone see's any going cheap.

My NZ new fit 35s on 15x10s quite easily, not so much when going over bumps :lol: Bumpstops need to be extended

I thought mine were sagged but I bought a set of 2" coil spacers and new springs and when comparing rear springs I found the ones in the truck were a heavy duty spring hence the high bum.

I think the black rims go well with the silver - might have to paint mine :twisted:

Faaaaaark , be REALLY careful if you go for a drive on those wheels!!!

They're so greasy with silicone you might not even get out of the driveway :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously though, be careful, i didn't get my bump stop measurements quite right and i ripped my flares to shred's. They are all cracked and buggered.

That is with 100mm sus lift and 33's on 10" rims.

I have had to shave the inner lip of the front flares off also.

OK, good to know - cheers. Planning on running the BFG 33x12.5x15s ATs for road, beach and towing duties. This truck wont see much off road work if any - that's what the 40 is for.
