Can you get 35's under a 2" lift without scrubbing paint of the roof?

ill post some pics as ill be puttin some on over the weekend to see how they go on a 2 " cant wait

35's will scrub pretty hard with 2' lift I'd imagine as some blokes are still scubbing with 4' lifts. 2' lifts rock sliders and front lokka for the price of 3 or 4' lift and get further and still have straight sills

I think this is the smarter approach, in time i will be fitting a winch as well so i think in the interests of straight sills i will stick to good quality 33's. Speaking of rock sliders they will be added just after the 2" lift, i have absolutely hammered the center bracket that holds my steps in place its twisted to buggery and has torn the bolts out of the step itself. Lucky i have steps as this was a pretty heavy duty hit.

Also what brands and quality are you talking about for the lift, barwork and lockers? as this approach does seem to make a lot of sense. And i like the idea of the go further button.
Thanks

as a bit of an industry insider, I can tell you the suggested brands are world apart as far as build and material quality go! While O'seas doing R&D for some suspension stuff, I was offered to buy a range of shocks from the same manufacturer as 'steelboy' but there premium range! They were able to bargain @ sub $15AUD a pair...... As for the other brand in question (strongCat) They have done there homework over the years and have really got it down pretty good. The materials and manufacturing is excellent, little things like the material used in the foot valve which is 3 time the price of the cheap crap you find in some shock brands. I do know a lot more tech stuff about both brands, but will leave it at that cus it starts making one look REALLY bad!

Good stuff Greg, Clear as day mate, Lucas read it again mate the answers are there.

I had always found it a little convenient that a player arrived and had a full range and seemed to have a strong name without really any establishment of credibility. Super hero stuff really! There is a fair bit written and tested about the old dog in that lot though, some good and some bad, i am not a fan but at least they have stood up the test and supported the industry.

Thanks for the insight. Appreciated.

p.s. Love ya stuff mate.

Worked out which brands he was talking about mudrunner........was inquiring about other "tech stuff" mentioned.

And even though its not exactly the original post, i was wondering, madengineer, if you had any ideas about the difference between "strongcat" and what they have "out on the ranch"...
