how much lift to run for 33s on a 60 sahara?

Post by lux kid »

i just prechased a 350 powered sahara 60 to do a bit of touring and to tow my hilux.

i would like to know what brand and how much lift you run in your 60 to clear 33s.

im not chasing mad flex i just want a decent ride and enough hieght to clear 33 while towing a hilux.
So ill need heavy duty for sure. Any way let me know what you run or have run in the past. also if remember where you got the gear from as im looken for 2 sets (need a set for a mate)

thanks Owen

you can have decent ride, or heavy duty, but not both. you don't really need a heavy duty suspension for towing, just make sure you moderate the down load on the tow bar to under 200kg.

heavy duty suspension is for work vehicles that are heavily laden all the time.

you can run 33's in a 60 with 2" lift.
