Good to hear thanks mate. Mine are 8" rims too so I might give it a whirl after hearing this.

that makes a big difference as the flares curve in quite a bit. Have you checked out the suspension on full travel?

I'm glad some one else is having a go at this, coz I've alos gotta get new tyres soon, so was wondering should I get the lift done first or tyres first................ either that or just get another set of 31s then that way I'll know they'll definitely fit and just wait a couple of years until the next set

I think you'll definatly need a lift with 33's in the long run, even if they do seem to travel ok on the road.

I'm shopping for a lift at the moment.

I'll put the 33's on this weekend for fun and see how they go anyways...lol

3" is plenty to get 33's under .. And a good size lift also for looks and drivability ... Make sure it's setup for what you do - that is, if you're expecting to do hard track work, then get something like flexi coils, a mix of all things Australia like beach, bush and touring, potentially go a soft long coil in the back for flex, and a medium coil up front for stability (that's what I have) and that the shocks are matched to the springs. At 3" you'll need a caster correction kit and panhard rods etc, but at 2" you can avoid changing them - just a decision on how much you want to spend really.

Good luck with it and make sure you throw up some before and after snaps for us to ogle!
