Will do, the lift is on the newtyres will be going on tomorrow.

The 2" lift has given it a 3.5" lift. So the old springs must have been sagging a bit.

That's quite a change! Wonder what the price difference would have been for a 2" lift compared to say a 3+" lift  Shocked

Well the tyres and springs are on,



with the tyres and springs it has rasied the body (to the top of the wheel arches) by almost 7".

Quite good doing 60mph aswell. Just to much air in them for off tarmac driving, I have 30psi but think Iwill lower them to 22psi tomorrow and see how it goes.

Fine, I have not noticed any change. I know someone running 37"s on a LC80 and still onstandard diffs.

Nice truck Paul, same colour and age as mine although mine now has 17 inch wheels and Cooper ATR tyres on rather than the very nice set of Knobblies yours has.
