will a 2 inch lift with a 2 inch body lift fit 37" rubber. i know some guard chopping is required but is there a lot of guard chopping that need to be done. At the moment i run 2" body and a 4" suspension but was wanting to go down a little as i started to get vibs and wobbles.

With a 2" suspension lift do you need to replace the castor bushes with off set ones. Oh and btw its for a shorty GQ

2"

to get the 37's fitin nice in the gards u will hafta cut them out a fair bit but its not hard to put it all on then just mark and cut out ya gards to suit, just depends if you want to cut them out that far or not.

yeh u wont really need castor correction bushes. I have a 2'' sus lift, and dont run them, but i will be soon. Also, the shorty will be pretty high on 37's! But it will look awesome. What i was thinkin was goin from a 2'' body lift, down to a 1'' body lift, and cutting the guards, and then upsizing from 35's to 36's or 37's. just to try and keep the centre of gravity the same as i have it now, but getting bigger rubber.

2"

imo i wouldnt go from a 2" body to a 1", like 2" spring and 2" body is prob as low as ya wanna go if your gunna run 37's, by downsizing your body lift it wont make much differance with your centre of gravity because most your weight ( chassis motor box an stuff) isnt movin and its only gunna give u less room in your gards to tuck ya tyres up on articulation

has anyone squeezed 37" rubber under 4" lift. I dont mind cutting guards but if i have to get creative about it pushing the inner guard up then i might forget about it thats all
