hey guys, i was looking at new suspension parts and have a few questions as i was thinking maybe a 50mm lift.
If i go for a 50mm lift do i have to get rid of the rims and put bigger boots on or can i leave those alone as i kinda like the rock hard approach of the build on wolf rims.
also on the 130 what is the tried and tested /suggested spring and shocker combo as they have twin rears it appears no one offers twins just singles as ome ones i have been shown.
worst case scenario i guess i could stay standard and get some bilstein shocks.
as for tyres was thinking michelins or bfg's
no need for sift to answer this as i know he wants wolf rims at any cost lol
in anticipation Andy !

There is no reason to change rims just because the suspension has been lifted a little.

My 120" has been lifted over 2" and I ran it on 235/85s for a wile with no dramas. Now on 35's

I'm running Pro Comp shocks. 4wd Service | Explorer Pro-Comp Suspension | 4WD WORLD (http://www.4wdworld.com.au/Explorer-Pro-Comp-Suspension.html) I Still need to extend the front shock turrets as they are much longer than the standard shock so can bind up on a hard hit.
