    Stien used to make the spacers, not sure if he's still doing them tho, i have the diagram for em if you can find some one to make em like local metal fabbers etc, they'll just need to do em to your choice of thickness, or i guess several thickness's fixed together,

      nice one bud, but i dont think there is anyone up here that can do it. we are all a bit weird in mid wales you know. im asking because i was going for a 3" bodylift and then 4" suspension lift. but the prices are stupid. so im going for a 3"bodylift with 2" suspension lift and then balljoint spacers. probably need spacers for the springs on the back to level it up to eh.

              thats a long way, nice to see surfs all round the place. if you do get wind of any extended springs, balljoint spacers, or uprated torsion bars let me know.

                    LC Springs will give you 3" of lift add 1.5" ball joint spacers and wind the torsion bars a little add +3" procomp dampers or similar. {lifting the rear will by default lift the front a little}

                    I would advise a 2" body lift as a 3" lift will cause more hassle than it's worth as 5" total lift is plenty for 33" tyres. {mannual or auto} as theres things to watch for on the mannual.

                    33s are big enough 35s will kill your gearing and the thing will be crap off road.

                    Uprated tor bars are a waste of £150 I have lifted half a dozen of these and abused 5" lifted surfs hard off road never had a standard bar fail
