the reason i asked is i am considering putting in a body lift so that i can fit a superiour engineering , rear suspension strenthening plate to prevent the top mounts from cracking as i would like to tow a van in the future . the gvm upgrade would be a welcome bonus . i would prefer to fit the solid plate instead of the brackets as i think it would be stronger . i think superiour engineering suggest a 2 inch lift but i would like to keep it to a minimum and i would prefer to do it before looking at any suspension work to ensure no compatibility issues . but i had not yet considered any issues to do with bars or running boards . is there anything else that needs adjusting ? ( fuel tank connections , gear leavers , brackets for any wiring , piping or hoses , radiators or such ) . sometimes its the little things that cause the most trouble if your not prepared for them and i can't afford to have the car off the road for long atm .
