hey mate, i got a 98 coily, get a 2" lift and 2" body and you will be sweet.

if you want to go bigger than a 30" tyre, you will need to shorten the outrigger behind the front bumper otherwise you wont be able to fit the tyre in.

you will be surprised what you can do with a few simple mods, like gears and a rear locker.

have fun with the build

here are a couple of mine with just the 2" lift and 235x75r15s, even with this set up and reduction gears i could go pretty much where ever i wanted too.

i have not got any recent pics with my bodylift and tires uploaded yet but will do soon, need to get them off my bros camera.

to get a more clearance, i will be replacing my front shocks ( they are still standards) and getting new springs and 1" coil spacers all round. will be around 5" of lift.

here is another coliy on 31s

Ok, well i have had the coily for around 2 weeks now.. and i have to say..
its the best zook i have ever owned/driven

all be, it is at standard hight with just 30" tires..
but it drives more like a car than a zook..
ride is sweet, handeling is good, the gearing is crap,

but yeah i like it! i have removed the swaybar and it flexes ALOT better than a standard zook..
im stoked :armsup: :armsup:

2inch springs and 2inch bl and i should be set!

yeah, right now i get through about 95% of the stuff my mates get through with their patrols and 33s no problems.


i found no difference in handling on road with the sway bar in or out. go for gears as soon as you can. the best thing ever :armsup:

mine drove way better without a sway bar on 2 inch lift.

maybe thats because it used to get caught on the nudgebar lol.
