Speak to Hobzy at Procomp in Narre Warren. He is running long travel airbag suspenion all round in his GU ute that gives him anywhere between about 2 and 9"s of lift.

Not sure if the chicks will love it but any of your mates with 4x4s will think it is pretty cool!

i just got a 5 inch kit from nick at Mannell motors today. nearly got it installed just need longer front brake line. you can get the kits with ranchos or upgrade to the big bore tough dogs. nick does then from 3 to7 inch lifts. check out his site www.megalift.info

Got 2 Uteris's in the shop getting Xtreme Make over now incl 1 x Denco Turbo. 4-6" lift is cool but it has its problems. A body Lift is a good way to get another few inches without sacrificing ride.

But then, yes the Chicks are worth it. We have quite a few very happy 6" guys and their chicks are happier with their extra inches.

In Sydney Nick Mannell is the Man or maybe Ball Sack. In Melb, see Cheezy or us at Pro Comp. We all have pretty much the same views and work together buying stuff off each other.

At what point does the Garage NOT become an option?

Would a GQ with 2" lift and 33's be under 2m in height?

Posted: **Wed May 12, 2004 9:33 am**

MvEric yes it should be way under ......ive got 4 " springs 2" body and with 37"s it measures bout 2050 or so

James aka Dirtpig off the board runs 5- 6" coils ( heavy duty 4's) and 40MM b/lift and with 315 75 16's his sits bout 2 metres :armsup:

I am meant to have 2in suspension (softest Dobinsons available), 2in body & 33's and mine measures 1.95m to the roof.
In a shorty

Must have more suspension lift than what I think :armsup:

Posted: **Wed May 12, 2004 7:44 pm**

mine with 36 swampers and 5 inch coils and 40mm bodyblocks reaches 2070 :finger:

Posted: **Wed May 12, 2004 8:40 pm**

Mine with 3" body, 3" springs and 35 X Terrains just fits into Eastland Carpark and that's 2.1m.

I mean just fits, have to make sure the sunroof is closed though!

Posted: **Thu May 13, 2004 7:46 am**

mine with standard coils and 39.5" iroks measures about 1.9 :armsup:

Posted: **Thu May 13, 2004 8:29 am**

LOL... What have we started here

Maybe we should split this into a new thread... how tall is your GQ/Mav and what lift are you running. Interesting that there is so much variation in the heights for the different configurations.

I like the 2m height cos my wife is happy cos she can still get into all the local shopping centre carparks and I'm happy cos I can still get it in the garage.

The 4-5" lift is a V.good compromise.

"Just think how much fire fuel you could carry in the ute with a 4-5 inch lift.
A lot more than a drum with wheels on it"And that would cook a lot of Ear burning Marshmollows!
