I have 33" tyres 2" suspension lift and 1 1/2" body lift soon to be replaced with 4" suspension 3" body and 35" tyres so i can drive over boy racers in vauxhall novas. I also have 6 acres of land which is very wet at the moment and the standard surf simply could'nt cope.
The wife has a 2.4 with 4" lift and 31" ATs incase i miss any novas.
How does the 2.4 with 4" lift look? Don't the tyres look a bit small with all that extra space between the wheel arches?

Have you changed the gearing on either truck?
Not changed the gearing on the 30ltr and not sure about the 2.4ltr i bought it with the mods already done,but both drive fine. The 2.4ltr does'nt look to bad i will post some pics when i learn how.
I may at some future date modify mine purely for the sake of appearance… but seeing as I’ve just bought brand new 31x10.5/15 A/Ts and spent £1100 on the head gaskets, I can’t really justify unnecessary expenditure at this time. My shocks seem Ok and my rear is not sagging, so it is staying as standard for now.

Same as, except I've hd new springs and shocks too!
One day I might be able to afford a lift.
Did mine partly for looks and partly because i needed some extra clearance for offroading in work, (which i don't do anymore). I have 33's and regeared to 4.88's from 4.3's which made one hellofa difference. Until i put my winch on which has slowed it down a little now, but not as much as before.
However have uprated torsion bars now to install as my surf looks like the A-team van with the front pointing down.
