Don't worry they're just jealous. I tell myself that anyway.

Options are:

Body lift (just ordered my blocks today).
Raised rear springs with wound up torsion bars with or without a ball joint flip.
Spring over the rear axle for about 4in lift plus wind the front torsion bars about 2-3in. Bit extreme and would require an engineers if allowed at all.

For the price I'm guessing it is a flogged and farked 2.6L petrol? If so 31in tyres would be your limit without gearing changes as I think 32in would make it far too sluggish.

Like everyone said, put it in the Isuzu section next time. Would be good to get a least one post per day in it

Yer it is a 2.6, but i dont mind changing the gearing. Can my local ARB center help me out with the boddy lift ?

Nope they will tell you they don't do them. Legal reason's.

It's really easy to do. Buy some polyurathane and cut into appropriate size. then just buy bolts to fit. I image that 2" would fit really well with the current tire size you have.

Don't wind the torsion bars or you will make it stiffer and the ride will be Grimace.

The only other thing i would most probably do is buy some decent tires. Say BFG mudders or if you want cheap retread moterway mudders. Or like what I used to have MTR's. This makes a huge difference in the mud and crap. Will make it way cooler as well.

For premade kits and body lifts look at these sites

www.calmini.com
www.bigballsoffroad.com

USA4x4 in bayswater can get you stuff from the calmini site.

You can get the polyurathane from mandurah bearings and seal suppliers.

Scratch ya

I've wound my stock torsion bars and it is not stiff. I do have about 70kg of winch and bar hanging off the front though. You would be hard pressed to find anyone here who hasn't wound their torsion bars. Go for it I say.

I just bought 14 40x60 aluminium body lift blocks for $44 from Smart Aluminium. Just need to drill the holes.

There is info somewhere on this forum about Isuzu gearing changes. Check the tech thread.

Hi, saw your post. I have some tyres that may be of interest to you.
5 x Cooper ST's 245/75 on 16" rims selling under "Tyres" on this site, just paste the following link into your browser. They are only 30.5" but are a legal fitment to your vehicle in terms of width & height, so will work with your insurance. Let me know if you need any other into.
