Well he does say the wheels give it an extra inch so that's where he gets his 8 inches from.
Personally I don't like the look of the truck, can see why you guys stick 33 inch wheels on as the 31s don't fill the arches very well. |

the 8 inch lift does not matter a hoot, the 31s are the best bit, it is axle clearance that matters, not often the body grounds out, 33 are good and of course you need the body lift for those, Rick

Made it that high as petrol lol so keeps it high above a puddle lol. In fairness tho you'd fit some big tyres now and that would raise the axel hight. With 5" body lift you must be able to fit 35s??

that bull bar is a monstrosity, and he's gone to the trouble of a 5 inch lift and it squats down at the back!
