My old 60 was a dream to drive .... except if you came into a corner
a bit too hot.....
then yee learn how to pucker up!!!!!
Off road it was awsome...heaps more travel, approach & departure angles,
hill climbing, mud holes......but (here we go again)
downhill....kiss your
ass goodbye.SOA is a very personal preferance.
I went to a LUX cause it was spring over, reverse shackel...standard. (all theory, mind you!)

i went from 26 inch tyres and SPUA on my drover to 31's and SPOA in a weekend and it actually drives and rides better with the 31s
no noticeable difference with the 26 and SPOA cept it looked gay

You are effectively raising the centre of gravity on your vehicle. 60s in paricular dont respond well to SOA IMO as they have a heavy body and relatively narrow axles so they become quite tippy.
That said, if you drive accordingly and do not skimp on steering and braking components in the build I feel you should be fine. Personally, I would also remove a couple of leaves from the pack too as they are fairly thick and inhibit flex and the ride.
EDIT: Ive sprungover a few vehicles and my current ride is SOA so obviously I think it is a good mod but I do feel that it is a mod that can be done wrong alot of different ways. On-road is a compromise (as is any major suspension lift) but off road is a huge improvement. Do some research and do it right and you will gain a whole lot more appreciation for your vehicle on and off road. [/2c]
