Ah....okay, that just answers one of my questions on the 4 inch lift thread!!

Legend!!! From reading the Aussie forums drop boxes are definately the way to go. If I ever go higher than the current 2" lift, then I`ll be standing in line for a set!!!

It get expensive going higher than 2" though....gotta replace panhards & fit dropboxes etc etc....and then 33`s will look too small....so you have to go to 35's or 37's which means that with a TD42, you`ll have to re-gear the diffs. Eish, my wallet is begging for mercy just thinking about it!!!! :lol:

Okay, so I`m guessing G-Man is probably one of the first in SA to go the drop box route, and since its not a comon mod here there is probably a fair bit of head scratching going on...... :think:

If anyone is interested in reading more, there are some pretty informative threads on our sister site in Aus.

Check these out:
