No that's bollocks. I've got a 2" and a bit lift in the front of mine and it's brilliant, but CV boots aren't lasting particularly well! 2" is a good height to aim for. Call me if you like 02102410351 I've done extensive research on 185's.

hmm weird i went to autolign and one of the guys said that anything higher then the 35mm will foul up the upper and lower arms and will need to have custom ones made?

Fool doesn't know what he is talking about, I've lifted one with a 2inch lift no problems. And plus there is to much clearance are the strut to even think about binding up......
