Hey
I have 35in peds on my 80 running a 5inch spring lift. so 5 inch is plently. i got a mate with 3 or four inchs in his 80 running 35 mtr's and they are starting to scrub.

Ah ha, I have been asking this same question everywhere.
You can do a 4" suspension lift and you can run them, or 2" body and 2" suspension.
Persoanlly I am not overly found of bodylift on cruisers so I will be adding a 4" suspension lift and running 36 pedes.
You will scrub not matter what on full compression.
Anything more then 4-5" suspension lift, you should flip the arms and put in high steer $$$$

2" body lift and 3" coils on my 80 - and ran 37's and they never scrubbed!
Body lift keeps COG low with the big weighty items like motor/box/chassis - and creates space to get inunder the car to do things!!
I have mates with 5" coils.. blah blah - still having castor issues, brake line issues etc....
Your choice but overall in 5 years - I'm damn happy with my setup - touch wood havn't rolled it yet but still tryin!!
