i was looking at just replacing the rubbers around the spacers,but after reading many posts on bodylifts i am now contemplating putting a 1" body lift over my 2"coil lift and running 33" tyres,,
if i do the above will i have to do anything else,?(hope not)
with the above in mind,
33" tyres over 15 or 16 " rims?
thanks in advance keep up the great informative posts

How you doing Scruffy...
You souldnt have any trouble with that,just keep an eye on all of your lines around your motor that they are not damaged and your steering arm might need to slip a bit on the pivot joint.and make shore that your fan has clerance from the bottom of your radiator shroud if it touchs the shroud just unclips..it should be allright most of those things happen with a2" + lift...

thanks guys,
thats the web page i've been looking at too,
any thoughts on tyres re 15" or 16" rims,from what i understand 16" rim tyre is slightly skinnier,i'm thinking the slightly wider tyre on a 15" rim would compensate for the extra height???
my 89 gq lwb gets used for lots of highway time at 120kmph,,
thanks again

I'd go with a 15" Rim and tyre combo, they are cheaper than the 16".

Then surely a 16" rim would be better for your application?
I don't know about a 16" tyre being narrower than a 15" equivalent...
