I haven't lifted it at all 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

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 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

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

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.

I was waiting for that comment but never thought it would be from you - Pot calling the kettle black

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.
