If you want big left go spring over. If only about 3-4'' and you have some $$$$

This would be a terrible kit to own , looking at it ,it has 11 rear leaves and 7 front leaves, you could only drive that on bitumin , just make sure you put your kidney belt on and dont ever drive offroad without having a chiropractor as a friend. :roll:

A better bolt on option would be 2 inch spring and 2 inch body lift. That will run 35 in tyres easy enough. A bit of trimming and bush panel work you could get 37's under there. It's a combination that works well (with lockers). Otherwise you have to look at spring over or coil spring/link conversions to get it working really good.

certainly agree with the first part of this post , otherwise you can also use anti inversion extended shackles to push the suspension side of it to 3.5 inch.
A spring over may catch you out in the future with legalities but no one knows for sure what is going on with DOT . ( extended shackles are also illegal but they are just bolt on, where a spring over is not that simple to just unbolt.

thanks for the input guys. Any sugestions on were to get a spring over done on the gold coast. Or a good lift kit
