yes... of course you do.. but you maybe better off with an 8in sus and 12inch body lift.. then you could run 31's.

Hey "redhot" dont knock a 12inch body lift, their is a lot of added bonuses
in running that much lift,
Dont sell yourself short man, 6 inch suspension
and only 4 inch body will only be half fully sick,

You sound like the kind of guy that should be FULLY FULLY sick.
you go brother.

Oh yeah, make that two fcuk wits,

Cause he wants to run 54's on it. I mean dont do things by 1/2.. even though you can run 38's with the setup he already has, it just aint good enough these days.. 54's are where its at

Barnsey/Mothfukle Engineering had a new year special on the Stuppidy Lift packages (spring and body lift). Might pay for redneck, sorry, redhot to give him a call. The website link is in my sig....

Seriously mate, what do you want a 6 inch suspension lift and 4 inch body lift for. The centre of gravity on the car will be up in the clouds. As soon as you put it on an kind of angle it will roll.

Im not a fan of body lifts at all but 3 inch suspension and 2 inch body is not a bad set up. You should be able to run anything from 36's downwards in tyres size and if your suspension is set up right you should be able to get some good flex while still maintaining good stability.

BUT if you do want to go 6 inch suspension and 4 inch body you should give Barnsy and the guys at Mothfuckle engineering a call they will be able to set you up with a whole heap of options in their stuppidy lift range...

Its a GU, you can fit 36 with just the 3inch suspension lift alone.

That sort of lift is wank factor i have a 4" in my gu and am going back to 2" lift and still be able to run 35" tyres. It handles like shit with a 4" lift. My comp truck has only got 4" lift with no body lift and i run 37" tyres on it. Have a read of this thread http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/ftopic191149.php

Seriously, I'd go with at least 10 inces of body lift. Much cheaper and easier than choppin' guards.

And I'd go for prolly 12 inches of suspension too.

Mate of mine who Buttfest knows pretty well did this and he's got these UBER sick imported 48inch rims with low profiles. I'll see if i can find some pics of it. :cool:
