At the moment I'm messing about with the idea of lifting the suspension 40 mm but using standard length shocks
I'm also thinking about doing a body lift to it but I can't find a kit anywere I'm not thinkin much prob about 40-50 mm
What's the side effects please

Screwed up steering geometry, prop angles both ends, higher C of G, poor tyre wear, falling out of the back doors, all the usual stuff.
Body lift should be do-able, not sure what's involved though.

Do you have Air suspension and do you have ACE??

It's on coils and it's fitted with ace

Well I bought some 40 mm lift spring off eBay saw somwere standard shocks are long enough so I thought I'll just get springs. But the old springs must of been really badly worn because it raised it close to 70-80 mm
Fitted them last night took it for a test ride and there's not enough drop on the shocks because they like bottom out so now knowing that I'm after some good shocks cheap and extended brake pipes also cheap

i have 2" springs and 2" body lift, handles well and is stable, the body lift is pretty easy to do but make sure you have the acces to be able to lift the body up straight as you will end up spending all day doing it like i did lol.
the kits are on ebay we got one for
