2" spring lift, 2" body lift and a set of 32x12.5 x15 BFG Mud terrains looks pretty cool and is a relatively easy and tame modification comparred to what most guys do here.

Just be warned, once you start modifying you'll never stop.

C'mon Chris sales opportunity here,

You'll need transfer case gears and one of Roctoy's Transfer Case Rings.

Hopefully I'll be getting a zook soon as well. Going to be a daily driver and the handbrake said I can't spend any money on it. Things will have to wait.

i recon 2inch bl 2 inch spring lift, and a set of 32's.. especialy mongrels.. i just happen to have a set for sale that would be perfect!
see pic!

i reckon 31x10.5r15...

this allows you to run 4" lift and get it engineered and roadworthy.

if thats not a concern, then go 33's on lux diffs SPOA =P haha

Im just running 30x9.5 BFG's. I can get places any locked n lifted paj or what have you can, plus the 9.5 wide tread will fit on the zooks standard 15x6 rims which makes it a lot cheaper too.
I found that even with a 2" bodylift they just scraped on the front bar mounts, you will have to grind a corner off there, but other than that theyre great.

STD zook rims are 15x5.5 and 30x9s will not fit legally on there.

Marc: u know what mine looks like on 31's

cheers

So if i decide to go for 31's, which i am seriously contemplating will that slow me car down?? It will be running the 1.6 efi but the car is mainly on road and i dont wanna slow it down too much. I like to zip away from the lights

shouldn't do. u can always go for a series 1 or calmini hoppers later if u find it is too slow for ya.

Posted: **Fri Nov 18, 2005 2:17 pm**

Go the 31's
I have 31 Simex Extreme Trekkers which are more like a 32inch and they are the way to go.
i have them on speedy 15x7 rims and the offset is really good, Not much rubbing at all.

Cheers.

mines munged but its not that deep of a dent =P hehe

Posted: **Fri Nov 18, 2005 6:08 pm**

yep mine looks like that 2!
factory problem!

mine holds 25ltrs!

Posted: **Fri Nov 18, 2005 10:04 pm**

It is not that bad.
I still get close to 35 Litres in the tank but am hoping to get a long range tank or maybe a fuel cell soon.
I am not sure how many time i can hit it before i rupture it. i am sure it will happen when i am in the middle of shitsville.

Cheers

Posted: **Sat Nov 19, 2005 9:43 pm**

just say NO to body lifts

31's, NO BODY LIFT, 2" springs, lots of rubbin

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 2:53 pm**

yeah body liftw are shit try avoid it at all cost

i wish i didnt need mine

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 5:19 pm**

what are the cons for body lift..rb??

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 6:03 pm**

I also don't understand why people hate bodylifts??? they achieve useful clearance for tyres, and even motor/gearbox in some cases, without changing the centre of gravitiy and handling as much a suspension lift would.

I reckon mine looks pretty phat!! 2" bodylift, unkown suspension lift (fair bit), and 33's on 15x10s....

Agreed. I have never seen a zook roll because it had a BL in it. I have owned 3 zooks. 2 of which had a body lift. One of them I actually re-mounted the body 4" taller than stock so I could clear a very large gearbox, and it was extremely stable...
