Bog stockers have their place, especially if they have a winch so is the 2in really going to make a mental difference off road and what problems if any have you guys had with doing the rather simple 2in lift?

Will a 2in lift open a can of driveshaft, vibration, handling and monetary worms?

A 2" lift should not cause any problems , In saying that you might end up with a shot uni joint or two due to the different new angle the tail shafts will be running at thats about it

do the two, it's not a problem, then get big tyres.

I agree, I have just done it recently and have no real issues. I run 245/75/16 and think I might go to 255 next time but will ask before I do buy them.
My car is a 91 3 door, the only thing is I have a bit more lean in to corners and needed a front end alignment. That simple and easy. Enjoy it..

Just did the 2" lift to mine, couldn't have been easier, my son (13) and I knocked it off in a couple of hours. 4 coils, 4 shocks, some tools, a jack, and some stands and you're away! Car feels great! Give Shane at suspension stuff in Brisvegas a call and he will point you in the right direction.

and, once you have the 2" spring lift, yuo can always do a 2" body lift too if required.

Have been running 70mm lift for 3 years with no problems.Also run 245x70 mud terrains ,thinking of going to 265 x70

ok sounds good looks like most don't have any vibration issues with drivelines. Cheers

I have a 3'' coil lift in my d1 and havn't had any issue's as yet (havn't driven it on the highway just on dirt roads and 4wding), had to fit angled trailing arm bushes in the rear and still have to fit longer brakelines but havnt notices anything wrong in reguard to driveshaft angles
