Hi,

I'll probably buy 5" manell kit, I think this is 5" megalift. I have GQ 2.8TD 1991 LWB with 33x12,5x15 MT's. I was wondering how would it look. Does anyone have similar setup or seen similar setup?

5" lifts are like arseholes over here... everyone's got one!

If the photos were working you would be able to see pics of my truck in this thread...

NOpe, the pics dont work. Would it be like the car is on rollrerskates?

Is 5" to much for 33' tires?

Naah its perfectly fine.

It'll look extreme if you put a body lift on it.

5 inch and 33's look good. 5 inch and 2 inch body lift and 33's look Grimace..

Yes, been there done that, it looks fuckin stupid! Looks like minature wheels on a massive car... Thats why I lowered mine down a few inches.

I have a 3" lift with 33s and they fit fine. I like the low bigger tyre look compared to massive lift look

Wow, this is huge. It does look dorky. SO what are you suggestions?
DOwn to 4"? And can i use castor plates with 4" lift that come with 5"?

EDIT:does anyone have any pics of 4" lift with 33'?

Posted: **Wed Dec 15, 2004 4:41 pm**

i thought my 4" with 33's was too much

35's much better

Posted: **Wed Dec 15, 2004 4:45 pm**

personally stick with 5 i have 35inch tyres 4 inch springs and 2 inch body so 6 all up and looks like this

obviously the tray is higher than the gaurds would be

Mine did look gay with split rims and 6''spring lift but it looks much better now with 35s

The split rims and coopers worked dam well for pizza cutters

This is suposed to be 4" megalift. How come it sits so low?

Posted: **Wed Dec 15, 2004 5:31 pm**

This is how my car is looking now.

Posted: **Wed Dec 15, 2004 5:32 pm**

Posted: **Wed Dec 15, 2004 5:53 pm**

ok
this is of my patrol.. 2 inch body lift and 3 inch coils with 33 inch tyres .. same as a '5 inch' coil kit. Basically same height obviously...

Looks nothing like that now.. i went further and upgraded to larger rubber and bigger suspension since then.

Hope that helps..

I think a 5" lift and 33" tyres look good. Here is mine with 5" lift and 33's and a 35" on the front passengers side.

Now I know you think I'm bulshitting and that the ute has 7" lift, 4" body lift and the tyres are 37" claws and 1 x 46" claw but trust me the people in the photos are all midgets

Posted: **Thu Dec 16, 2004 8:08 pm**

and the car in the background is a midget car as well

Posted: **Thu Dec 16, 2004 8:18 pm**

Those old Mazda 626's are not very big at all. Neither is my white GQ wagon on the right of the shot. I tell you it is 5" with 33's. :lol:
