Mines no good for offloading mostly for show
£850 for wheels and Tyres 37"
£130 6" body lift
£230 for springs and blocks
Lots of making parts fit pipes , bumpers
Wires, levers
A SWB won't be as stable at that hight
Any questions just ask
Prob a good week to get it all right
Ball joint flip reindex torsion bars camber
Arb extensions , lower rad, filler pipe extension
Plus lots I fogot!!! |

I'm thinking a 4" body lift and probably 4" again on the shocks, I'm getting a LWB truck soon as well for when the baby gets here as the SWB is a nightmare getting the baby seat in the back as is my 3.0L V6 406 coupe.
I only want my SWB for show and a little bit of dirt but would be good to keep it as stable as I can.
I'm struggling find where does the suspension lift kit and big enough tyres...... Engine and the rest I've got a wicked mechanic that restores VW Baja's so I'm all sorted for making the rest of the stuff fit in time lol. |

Well the engine and welding is to be dome 1st but I've found the body lift kit and the tyres now, going for the 37" maxxis creepy crawlers. All I need to do now is find the suspension lift kit and away we go.
When all the work has started I will take step by step photos and show you the progress
Any idea on where to get a good suspension lift kit? |

You will need more than a suspension lift to get 37's on |

You would prob need a 3"-4" bodylift and a suspension lift for 37's have you read all jetskidavids write up? Who's going to do the work for you around bourton then?
