With 2" OME and 31" My narrow track rubbed a little. But now I have about 2"-3" lift and a virtual lift,some hammering and have no rub. Only a little on the front shocks. Dont remember the backspacing, but I have the Rock Crawler rims from the US and they only have one offset i think (8" wide) And IMO they are perfect for NT and 31"

If the 31" rubs on top of the wheelwells just add some spacers to your bumpstops. this will give you more drop too :)

not a good pic..but oh well

gday suzuki boy
hows it going ??

as most have already said stay with your 3'' lift
no need to go any higher with suspension or body. when fitting 31'' tyres but i would recommend moving your front axle forward at least 1'' to 2'' just to clear your fire wall/wheel arch on full lock. this can be done at a later date when funds permit

like you mentioned B4 take your time with the vitual lift and it will all come together 4U.
ive only just finished my second attempt of vitual lift.
it can be done on the cheep if you plane ahead & take your time.
id recommend masking up the surrounding area above well arch & draw the line you want to cut. dubble check all measurments B4 the CHOP :D

you could even try marking up a thick sheet of carboard
with your desired wheel arch n tape it onto your guard. to give you an overall look or feel of what it would turn out like & check for clearance issues B4 cutting into your guards.
sounds abit silly but its alot eazyer than buying replacement penals or body. if you cut incorrectly

i used wooden templete on my 1st job. scratched my desired arc then checked. i ended up marking out around 6 different
lines before chopping into the body work. even then i cut 20mm below my desired line. (just in case)

this is whet i uesd on the rear of stumped vehicle
