    GU. 2" lift. 35s? Bumpstop extension? offset??

    Hello fellow patrolites.

    Im pretty keen on running 315s on a 2 inch lift (feel free to convince me otherwise)

    what sort of offset and bump extension would i need?

    ive seen rigs with stock steelies and 2 inch lift running 35s

    if new rims with bigger offset is going to be a big improvement im willing to fork out.

    lastly what diff gears will i need if i choose to go this route.

    Any advice, feedback, suggestions would be muchly appreciated.

    I'm running 305's on my GU8 with neg 13 offset rims with a 2" lift and tyre sit borderline of the guard.
    I remember a few guys did have 35's with a 2" lift but have all gone to a larger lift now being 3" or 4".
    As for bump stops I'm not sure.

    I wouldn't think you would need bump stop extension on a 2inch lift. (others feel free to correct me) I just installed a 3inch flexy kit and even then some were saying its borderline if I needed them or not. So I put them in anyway just in case. I would think if you did on the 2inch lift you would hamper the compression rate of the 2inch lift and would lose some flex... Unless the 35's are going to scrub in the guards when under compression, I wouldn't worry about them.

    Thanks for the replies fellas.
    Ive already 2 inch coils (still need extended shocks)

    Im trying to figure out if -20 rims with 315s will hang out past the guards. Im guessing so if -13 and 305s are borderline.

    I have neg 13's on 315's and the tyres sit flush with the guards.
