Old thread...

Did they end up scrubbing? How much extra suspension lift roughly do you think you had on top of the lift kit?

Cheers,

Jake

Fronts I ended up having 5-6inches and rear I was running the 3inch bodylift with 2wd struts which got me a solid 1-2in extra.

They did rub abit, but only over fast bumpy terrain like a chopped up beach.

This was one of the best mods I did. But only if you've got the power to back it up.

I've got the EJ so i guess it should be okay, no fancy turbo like yours though

I've got 15's to put on so hopefully i can get a smaller profile with decent tread to make it a bit easier. I already trimmed heaps off the guards, firewall and stuff for the 27's. You're right, It's amazing what you can hide with flares and mudguards. I'll have to sort out some suspension lift also. Read somewhere on here about ford laser springs for the front?

Cheers,

Jake

If you can keep that size you can get some awesome treads for it :) you can get almost any tyre you want in that size! :D good work!
