I could trim heaps ( still got wt flares on) ... or i could get a bodylift, BUT i have 2" lifted springs here froma while back.... they are pretty flexy, should i put them on?, i have the longer shocks with em too....

I run body lift and spoa, with 34s and i haven't had any problems. Sell your springs and buy something else, like lockers :twisted:

stock spoa will have enuff room for 35's easy with a bit of cutting

say no to body lift and lifted springs

I agree, say no to B/L :D
(sound like a tee shirt)
I run 33x13,5 claws with no B/L and no cutting,
this will change when I fit the Q78's (cutting, not B/L)
I will say however that a body lift on a Sierra is not as big a deal as say a Land Cruiser or Pootrol, the zook bodys are small and made from Coke cans, so the COG is not lifted to the same amount as a L/Cruiser, cutting is way better than lifting.

Drop the BL and see how it sits. I have SPOA on a WT with 40mm over shackles, works well with 32 tsl/xs on -28 rims. Sits same height or lower than Pyro's SPUA rig on 32 simex - 2 inch spring, BL and shackles. :D

Layto.....

my SPOA on 31's clears the guards fine - the front scrubs the headlight buckets at full flex, but if you turn the wheels it wont touch...

I'd say look into guard chopping for sure!

How is your spring wrap with the SPOA?
