Hey guys,
just picked up a Kia Sportage 2001 really clean with a blown head gasket.
Needed something cheep and a bit bigger than my Feroza.
I want to lift it up tp get my 31x10.5 under it.
Any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Lukas

Thanks for that. The sites are great. If I get the 3 inch suspension lift could I go with the lower of the body lifts? I wish a 4 inch suspension kit was available.
Either way it has to be done. Its going to be funny.
Thanks for the info.
I am ripping the head off tommorow. I hope the thing is on the road asap.
Cheers

You should be able to. You may need a bit of front bumper and guard trimming adjustment.
Your gearing could be badly affected by runnin the 31's. Have you considered going 30's.

I would go with 30's but I have a brand new set of 31's on new rims from my other 4x4. It did make a difference to gearing however most of my off road work is mud so not much lost there.
Got the head of yesterday. Shit job at home. I was actually surprised how well the kia is put together.
Thanks for your help
Cheers
