best lift?
Hi all, I have owned a few 4x4s before but am new to the custom 4x4 scene. I have an 89 Hilux dual cab and am wanting to give it a 2-3 inch lift. What is the best way to do this? Blocks, extended shackles or new spring packs and shocks?
Re: best lift?
Whats your budget??
What sort of tracks, driving do you want to do??
What size tyres are you running/want to run??
Most guys will run a 2inch spring lift, 2 inch body lift and 33s.
Still ok on the road, and add a locker and you will have a very capable car.
Extended shackles are illegal onroad, so if the Lux is your daily then Id try to avoid that option, go a set of 2inch lifted springs, stock length shackles, if you want more, fit a 1 or 2 inch body lift.
With that setup, youll easily be able to run 33s.

Re: best lift?
Budget is not an issue as i can claim it as a business expense,
I heard that extended shackles were illegal but i see them on a few fourbies up here so i wasn't 100% sure,but springs aren't too badly priced.
It's mostly beach and mud around here, not a lot of rocky stuff.
thinkin of puttin 32's on, 33's at most, dont want to attract too much attention, was thinking of getting Maxxis Bighorn's or similar.
