Hi guys,
New to 4x4 scene, I have a GQ LWB wagon that I am about to mod, I would like to run 35" tyres, what lift kit would I need to give it clearance? Thinking 4" all round with no body lift.

hey mate jump over to the intro and put a post in there!
As for the lift on 35's, this a question I will never understand, If the tyre wont fit in the guard now on full flex it's not going to fit in the guard no matter what lift! I run 35's and cut both front and rear guards.

I run a 2" lift &2" bodylift works great with 35s
IF ITS NOT BROKEN IT MUST BE A PATROL
Yep 35s here too . Simple 2" susp lift and 2" body lift works for me
Y60 Patrol 4.2 d SWB in puke green
2" body lift, 2" pedders suspension lift, 35" Simex muds on excel 16" alloys, needs a turbo :/
So a 4" susp lift will be the same as 2" body + 2" susp?
You'll have to really watch your compression length and extend the bump stops to suit.

Nah not the same. Suspension lift will increase the distance between the axle and chassis whereas a body lift increases the distance between the chassis and the body.Originally Posted by omy
Hello from Under Down Under!
What would I need to complete a 4" lift front and 5" lift rear? I want to go higher on the rear as I will be adding a long range Tank and two spares tyres!
Big difference between 2 inch and 4 inch lift in what is needed.....
For 2 inch, springs and shocks is pretty much it.....
For 4 inch, adjustable panhards, swaybar extensions, springs, shocks, drag link (I think), caster correction (drop boxes, bushes, plates) extended brake lines and more.....
Also, you don't want 4 inch front and 5 inch rear, you want properly chosen 4 inch springs all round, designed to carry the weight you expect to have on board.
