going up another inch...

I am pondering whether it is worthwhile going to 3 inch springs. I current have 2 inch springs and a 2 inch body lift.

Is it worth it? Just for for that little bit extra clearance?

I am current running 33" mud terrains. I have longer stainless braided brake lines and long travel shocks.

How much will this effect the steering geometry? The 2 inch spring lift has not any issues in the steering or driveshafts.

Cheers

Andrew

Caster should be out with 3", i am thinking of doing the same but havejust rotated my swivels so shouldn't affect it to much.

front 150mm
rear 170mm

that measurement is taken from the bottom of the original rubber bump stop to the top of the axle housing.

is that standard for a 2 inch lift spring?

with those clearances i think you've got well over 2" lift already, but i could be wrong
