Looking at the pictures the rear of the front tyres look very close to the wheel arch and the front of the rear tyres also look very close to the wheel arch, it actually looks like any upward travel of the wheels towards the body would catch on the wheel arch. |

This was how it looked immediately after the body lift and before the suspension lift; now they're both done, its all fine. But you're right, to fit 35" or larger tyres, you have to trim the bottom corners of the front arches as they do catch. |

Looks great.
Well worth the agro from the photos. Have you off-roaded it yet?
How is the gearing now?
Obviously you've geared up due to the 35s and the extra rolling mass will make a difference to acceleration and braking.

30mm will lift 30mm,2"=51mm .
Yes they fit above the suspension to lift,make sure you get alignment/camber checked after and its not unusual for the adjusters to be seized. |

All the bolts in the SWB are the same length,and I'm sure the LWB would be the same,there is a knack to fitting the blocks and bolts,but after you've done one side you'll fly through the other side. Be sure you use Nylock nuts,and tighten them after a week because the body tends to settle,and you don't see the nylock nuts being loose. Just mind out for brake pipes,vacuum pipes and heater pipes as they might stretch |
