i had a mate with a RV 80 with jsut 2" body lift and no suspension lift and he ran 36" pedes no probs..

So IMO if ya dont want much hight jsut do the B/L

I am no Cruiser expert but a 4" suspension lift will require enginering.
Maybe not in Vic don't know, 2+2 won't.

4" lift will give better flex as well.

4" suspension is the way I would go but the price difference compared to a 2+2 might scare you a bit after you add up all the extra bits you will need for a 4" suspension lift done properly

Ive got 2 and 2 in my 80 and I love it.
Still drives great.
No road worthy issues
No engineers need
all sway bars etc are still on as it does way more road work then bush work.
I can fit 36's under it but they would rub a bit. I just run my Q78's under it for off raod work and I haven't noticed them rub once. I run 35's for road.

Any bodylift requires legally an engineers certificate.......

Any way put a 6" in it

Go 4 inch suspension, get the better flex and travel. Just call it 2 inch suspension and 2 inch body if it make sit easier for legality issues. Old mate is right however - 6 inch lift and be done with it... I don't think price will vary too much (get some quotes to find out), just have to watch steering and drivetrain issues are sorted properly. You will never be happy if you go small and would love big.

Other then putting the new springs and shocks in and removing the rear bar, nothing.
