If you can, try and keep the suspension lift as low as possible as with an IFS the further you go up the closer to the droop bumpstops you get and lose down travel.
What size tyres are you trying to fit?
You can fit 33"s easy with a 2" body and bit of firewall hammering.
I had 35"s on my old IFS Lux with only a 40mm bodylift

it did have a bit of cut and shut in the guards and firewall though

Thanks. Probly go for 32inch tyres, is there any way of changing the bump stops to gain the lost down travel? Would like to leave the panels alone if possible. Did you have to adjust anything when you did the body lift?

1" Ball Joint Spacers will give you your down travel back and lift your Lux 1" over winding-up your torsion bars.

Are they an easy fit? do you need to change andthing to go with them?
and where can you get them from?

What do you do with the rear? change springs or lift blocks or extended shackles?

Thats fine! When you did your body lift did you find any problems i should look out for? What did you do to the suspension to get the 2inch lift?

yer ther was about 3mm clearance between the gear shifter and the body in second gear so i cut the body out abit to be on the safe side....
theres literally 2mm clearance and evidence of the fan touching on the bottom radiator hose so gotta drop the radiator 2".....
and the bull bar will stay at original height but im gonna bet that lifted partly for cosmetic but will also help approach angle...
oh and just jack the body slowly and listen for stressing? creaking? cracking

oh the 2" sus lift was just blue max shocks, steerig damper, new leafs.........sorry not sure exact details as i jsut got a local 4x4 shot to do it.
