GU ST8 lift kits
Hi all,
Just wondering if people have got lifts fitted to the GU 8's with stability control.
Having trouble finding out about lifts over in the west.
Some shops are telling me you can't, some are saying you can??
I originally wanted to fit a four inch, but possibly a 3 inch minimum.
Any help on regards to this would be greatly appreciated.
Really interested to find out if you have fitted a lift kit:
What brand / type of lift
How high
Why did you stop there, at that height.
Regards
Shack

SUCH IS LIFE
What brand / type of lift - TJM XGS Gold
How high - 2 inch
Why did you stop there, at that height. - Wasn't looking at reaching the skies but just to gain a bit of hight. 2" is plenty for what I want the truck for
I have had no issues with the lift and stability control, everything seems to work very well.

new laws out now regarding lift, a 2" lift would see you go most places, plus your 4x4 wont look like a skate board.
Any higher would require an engineers certificate, BS I know, look at the 4" flexi coils they sound great

Hi mate - I've had a 2" lift in it. Dobbos coils and Koni shocks. No issues for me. Rear lift is about 3 inches and the VDC doesn't seem to have any issues. Didn't go with any castor correction or anything else either.
