Yeh but Cris for now i'll just get wheels and tyres and leave it stock height till i figure out what i'm going to do with the motor, theres no point doing a lift if i have to change the spring rate after the conversion and front bar, yeh ???
have you considered the poly spacers? i run 285 on my GU with no issues, but it seems like a quick cheap option to 30mm of lift without having to change anything else
The problem with the spacers will be the fact that shocker wont have the travel that will be needed with they extra 30mm, even tho it doesn't sound like much it will more then likely shorten the life of the shocker and for the sake of saving a dollar i'd rather do it right the first time with a money is not an option type of attitude. For now i'm just toying with the idea of a second set of wheels that will get only used for play time!
Silverstone MT117 Extremes. Great in mud, lousy everywhere else just about. Pretty good on rocks though but make sure you air down or you will lose lugs! I wouldn't buy them again even as a weekend tyre, they are too extreme. I reckon next time I'll go with Federals like AB and Healy run.
No dramas John i might take you up on that offer, i just need to make room by flogging off parts i have accumulated for my previous cars but we will be in touch mate
