If it were me, I would go 4inch. Theres bugger all from 2-3, only anything above two is illegal and should be engineered to make it legal. That kit has drop boxes and adjustable panhards, so you might aswell go 4. But thats my opinion. But you will need an adjustable drag link.Quote:

It will be a 4 inch system eventually I have a RTT so I was worried about C of G so to keep it more balanced of was looking at a 3 inch lift with a 1 inch body lift and I already have my adjustable drag link on
Only my opinion FP mate but do worry now for your safety with the newfound knowledge above of your Roof Top Tent up there too.
Most of our local crew here near the mountains only run 2” lifts, I think only one bloke has a 1” body lift beyond the rest and we all have relatively safe C of G adventures. More than enough downwards travel in our suspensions to attack some pretty gnarly rutted tracks on naughty 35’s mate!
EDIT: Our BFG Km2’s ever so slightly can just scrub the front guards at full lock 45 degree hairpin descents, maybe more severe on something wild like SuperSwamper massive lugs etc...
EDIT#2 :-) : The GU blokes have the advantage of wider axles (better CofG) and also larger stock guard areas. The GQ blokes are still just ok on front ends with 2” only lift although do have to modify rear wagon guards slightly for 35’s on 2” lifts.
Is your beast a GU or GQ mate, couldn’t seem to find above written, although is getting late here :-) !

Roger! Makes sense for the body lift. But thats a lot of work doing a body lift isn't it? I would have thought its easier just to add the extra inch to the springs since your doing these anyway.Quote:

Whats the difference between Snake Racing and Superior Engineering?
Snake Racing - is emptying a bag full of snakes in the middle of a circle and first to cross the circumference wins (usually it is the snake handler).
Superior Engineering - is yet another one of the many advantages of owning a Patrol over a Land Cruiser.
