Also FatBOY, if you realy are gonna be chuckin roos and shit on the back you dont wanna have to lift em 2meters just to chuck em in the back...... :roll:

In all seriousness just lift it 2" and get abit bigger tyres........
It would cost less and give you much less greif than just lifting it 6" lift kit.

OR SELL IT :D to your parents.... its will be alot cheaper for them than buying a poxy BMW 4X4.......

Thats about the best advice I can give you.......... :lol:

if it is bog standard now, imo dont do body lift. get some bigger tyres, see if it rubs, then suspension lift if needed. body lifts are cheaper, but change also sorts of things like needed to modify gear levers, brake lines, extending steering. you also can buy bar work off the shelf, dont need to modify everything to fit.

anyway, just try it out in bush. see what you want to change first after driving for a little while
