That must have been a damm old post lol. I have PRG UCA so have lifted it 45mm and have zero camber so truck rides and handles really well now.I dare say that post was even before the offset bushes were on the market

Whilst on the topic anyway, my next purchase in the coming weeks are a set of Super Pro adjustable UCA's and 25mm front spacers to bring it right up. Currently has 15mm spacers but i think i'll go 25mm. I dont carry heavy tray loads anymore, just some camping gear.
Might buy a set of CV's too just in case.

Nice mate would love extra cash towards the nav too but a little later on in the year for me! Im going to do my diff, gearbox and transfer case breathers soon really cheap and useful mod to have

Yeah ill be doing along the same lines. Rear diff rebuild and drop a Nav V6 front diff in. Mine does more touring and a little bit of track work but no river crossings etc.
Really hanging for the UCA's and slightly larger spacers though. About to buy a pair of leaf spring load helpers for the rear and whack those in. Will prolong the life of the springs by taking a bit of the load when carrying weight.

Depends on your needs.
Have about 2 inch of lift here with standard raised King Springs and Bilstien shocks. Tyres are Hankook AT-M 265X70X16 so slightly larger rolling Diameter. They give a great ride quality to. I'm very happy with the tyres. Set up works well but HD version of the front springs may have been a better choice. Considering I have a steel bar. Brilliant for touring and good for mild off-roading up to moderate tracks. I'm usually lightly loaded tho.
Beware going to large an increase in Diameter. It will give more clearance but at the cost of acceleration and braking performance. Your fuel consumption will suffer to, particularly around town. If you have a manual transmission and DMF, larger diameter tyres will possibly shorten the life of your clutch.

I was considering 285/75r16 but not sure if I want to go down that path yet but the deal on the bf Goodrich muddies are hard to pass up set of 4 for 1100bux
285(33s) Are a bloody tight fit need to cut guards and other things. Nath22 did a step by step thread on it. I'm about to fit 265/70/R17s muddies to mine when the cash starts to flow agian. I have lovells rasied h/d coils with standard Nissan struts up front & standard shit in the rear it has leveled out nicely. handles alot better at speed on the dirt too.

Well I have 2" spacer at the front and a 2" body lift so I hope with the right offset rim they will fit
but I have to get the mod plate done first then wheels then the suspension as I'm buying it in components gradually like shocks, bushes and bolts etc.. I have this much room at the momentAttachments

You may be right then looks like you could fit 285s with the right off set, remember spain will fit thai but thai wont fit Spain. So do you have SRS air bags. If so good luck getting the body lift pass and the spacers for that matter. For lifts like your's better off with a 5" drop kit keeps everything nice sane even tho your 5" higher. Hope you get all passed tho.

Spacers will come out before inspection and after that I'll be putting in my bilsteins 5100. as far as I know the body lift will be legal once it gets a mod plate. I have the Spain build and 2" body plus 2" suspension is legal here
