Looking at putting 35's under my 2006 4.2 td6 GU wagon tourer.What is the minimun suspension lift required to run these.Wagon fitted with all the friut , fridge/draws/barrier.Suspension and tyres just about last on the list.Your thoughts and ideas are appreciated.

i dont know about minimum but my 5" fits them easy as just make sure you get a negative rim offset so the rear doesnt rub on the inner guard
i reckon you could get away with a 3" lift.

3 inch H/D lift is fine.
once you go bigger you need to open your wallet and dig deeper

R you still running your rear swaybar bogged. I have a 3" flexy lift and i dont have my swaybars in. My 33's rub reasonably hard and thats with cruiser offset rims. Im just gonna extend the bumpstops.

2 inch lift easy. J-top is running 38's with a 3 inch lift on his GU.

Can do with minimal lift, just make sure you set up your bumpstops properly, and also get some adjustable panhards if you're going 3-4 inch lift as it will help with inner arch clearance on the rear.

i would go a min of 3" but i would go 4" with a small lift i reckon ur tyres will rub and hit guards and stuff, no point restricting ur flex u want max flex

i run 35 mtrs with a 2" lift no dramas but i did space my front arms 12mm forward , slight rubbing when the rear is flexed right up but i haven't done anything with the bump stops, and the little bit of rubbing on the inner guard is not worth worrying about anyway, i run cruiser off set rims.
