No doubt this question has been asked before, but what size lift is recommended for running 33x12.50x15's and what other problems am I about to realise?  :-k

No, it's funny in a way as he's got a nice fancy Lap-Top (one of those rubberised ones with the built in mobile telephone for remote e-mails) with free internet access, but only uses it for work - BT home phone line installations.
Occasionally he'll browse on 'Mud' if he's across here

Yes I am Paul - not defecting just yet though. As the majority rule there must be something in it so I thought I would give it a go. Will need to be modded though to keep up with what I'm used to.  :wink:

Thanks Tim, a sensible answer, I was considering going 3 inches but I am concerned about the resulting 'on' road characteristics.  8)
