want to fit atleast 33's soon, what size bodylift do i need? was thinking 2 or probably 3 inch, what are the main pros or cons for doing this? thankyou

2" body lift and 2" susp lift..

Also depends, IFS or solid front end...? You also need to consider other modifications, like gear shifters, brakelines, fuel filler, steering shaft.

Another excellent way to lift your IFS is this from the dudes at surf owners australia:

Is yours an early model??
Mines an 85 solid front end which has 2 inch body & sagged 2 inch OME spring kit, fits 33`s easily, rubs near the firewall on full articulation every now & then. Fitting was easy, got a Marks 4x4 adapters 2 inch body lift kit which had all the instructions.
Call Nathan on (03) 9793 3388, i think it cost $280 from memory.
Only thing I had to adjust using this kit was to lift front b/bar.
Gear levers, brakelines, fuel filler, steer shaft were fine.
3 inch would have caused issues with those.

I could sell you the blocks a whole lot cheaper than that kit, bolts are under $20 all together too

You can fit them with no lift with Ifs bit of trimming and bashing on the seem that joins the body together and round off the bottom sharp edge and take sum off the bottom guard and they fit,I had 35`s with a 3" body lift and done the same thing and they never hit anywere and "Dawso 4x4" had 33`s with no lift.
And "High and Mighty`s" sells the best Dam lift blocks in Newcastle

That was going to be my next comment.. on the IFS you can fit 33's in the front with a little bit of trimming of the bottom of the guards near the doors. Because the tyres will touch there under full articulation, esp when reversing - i know when i was running a mates 33 MTR's if i reversed out my driveway at speed and full lock it would scrape.. nothing too serious tho. a 2" body lift would fix this straight away.

If anything, youll be able to get them in there with just a 2" body lift no worries.

i ran 33' on my 4 runna with no lift all i did was fold back the seem in the front guard and trim a little off the bottom but do that and get the 2' lift blocks off high 'n' mighty and you won't have any problems
