4 inch lift questions

[florix]

Hey all,
I have a couple of questions about gaining another 2 inches.
Currently I have 2" suspension lift and I believe I need another 2 to allow my 35s to fit better. They don't scrape but I am worried when I do go off road they will. I don't have a caster kit atm so it's a little off. I have either two options body lift of 2 inches and finish off my suspension lift or fit a 4" suspension kit. I do have a ST GU so BL is interesting in regards to airbags and also adjusting bars and sliders to suit plus the gear lever too. What do you believe is the better option. Complete suspension upgrade or just a body lift? Also in terms of a lift kit I am looking at springs, shocks, panhard trans spacer, castors and brake lines. Is there anything else you would recommend?
Thanks for the help

I havnt heard of anyone doing a body lift on a gu, they havem massive wheel arches, 35's on an 8 inch should fit

8 inch? I have 2 inches ATM and was think an extra two would cover it. The front is close to the rear of the arch. They do fit snug but I am worried about it scrubbing in the front that's all

I'm not a fan of body lifts, I'd rather get the chassis up higher.
To do a 4" lift you will also need brake bias valve spacer and extended/adjustable drag link. Rear lower control arms will hang down a bit with the bigger lift and would be better replaced with heavy duty arms. If you get extended H/D lower control arms you might do away with the need for transmission spacers.

As far as front tyres scrubbing on the backs of the gaurds, the design of most drop arms and drop boxes factor this in and move the diff forward about half an inch.

Looks like heaps to me. My vertical clearance with 35's on is less than yours - and my lift is almost stock height now days.
I've only had it rub once, and that was fully compressed into the wheel arch (side biters were grabbing the plastic flare)

Thanks for the advise. So I suppose the next question is a drop box or a caster kit to suit a 2" lift.

Neither for a 2 inch lift. Only castor if it is required.
