get some extended shackles, extended brake hoses and depending on how much you want to lift an extended propshaft would be useful.

Extended shackles from a 109 will do the job (£20 for a set from paddocks) or go the whole hog and fit parabolics with pro comp shocks and bigger tyres.
Just depends on how much you want to spend?
A new set of spings and the 109 shackles will do a grand job for less than £100.
If you want the parras and pro comps add another £250 on top.

Yeh, go for the parabolics with pro-comps and larger wheels.  That does mine, I have not had any probs at all with ground clearance since!

Why you want to lift it robert ? If you got 7.50/16 the motor is high enough. Also the way you drive you will roll it alot easyer. Now come on guys give him some good advice.....!!!

Would those be the ones that Barry had about 18 months ago :?:  I nearly had them but had just bought some Camac from him a few weeks earlier.

I have to back MiniMan up i was blown away by his tyres, they are the biggest damn 7.50's i have ever seen and the grip is inane.  No joking if they were rubbish i'd be the first bloke to rub his nose in it (shame he ain't the BHP to make the most of them :lol: )
