Easy, Lift kit from C R O S S B R E D P E R F O R M A N C E . Ya cant really do a suspension lift in a brumby. If put tailer springs in front, aligment cant be set due to not enough adjustment. And of course , if you can find any coil springs in the back of a brumby , you are better than every one else.

A lift kit , a guard cut and 27" tires is what most people do and it is easy and trouble free.

Didnt think about cambers, how hard is the ********* kit to fit?

It is pretty much self explained. Raise an end of the car. undo one bolt at a time and replace with new bolt. Reason for this is , to not allow the panels to twist and make it hard to line back up . Don't forget to undo the steering first when doing the front. Then take each bolt out and place lift block in . Only major part is bending lip of fuel tank so one of the lift blocks can fit . That is basically it. Brumby kits are the easiest to fit.

You'll be chewing through CV shafts before you start enjoying your lift if you go with strut only or larger strut than body block sizes.

The later subi's - lib onwards gets away with the strut only lift due to the track being wider than the MYs and Ls - this reduces the angle of the CVs compared to the MYs and Ls (greater angles).

Go with the tried and tested full lift kit - body and strut. Take your pick between 2 or 3 inch lift. With that said I reckon the 3 inch would make it easier to fit the 27s under the subi

I would suggest going for a 3" lift all round for 27" tyres and cutting away parts of body panels that will intefer with the wheels when turning.
