To be honest, with an attitude like that, your not going to get very far around here. It has be covered alot, and shouldnt take much searching to find, atleast not all day.

Yup

A solid axle would solve alot of problems, but its not a cheap exercise. You can lift an ifs truck 2 inchs without any major dramas, allthough the front diffs are made off glass, and auto locker fixes this problem. But creates another. Its all depends on what type of driving you want to do, and how much you want to spend.

33's will fit on with 2 inch spring lift, and some slight guard trimming.

If you do a body lift you will be able to fit 33's under without any problems. I did for a few years. I like having a surf as although they are slightly underpowered I can get a good amount of lift and run big tyres and still be able to take it into a carpark. Its my daily drive and therefore important. A well setup surf can go just as far as other trucks.
