Don't want to lift suspension wise.
I'm going to do a 2" body lift but not before Wales:naughty

Er. Don't...... really........know? :nenau
I only have my truck to tow so don't really want to mess with the suspension. I thought as I'm going to 31s :naughty I'll gain a little axle height anywho so just body lift 2" and see how it goes:nenau

Body lift should defo give you clearance for wheels I reckon, but no extra ground clearance.

I have lifted my tow bar higher too and put an adjustable plate on in order to try and keep the van nose down, my van is single axle and I think max weight laden is 1400kg. I would defo not want to pull your beast of a van with its nose up, it would be a very unpleasant ride :eek:

Suspension wise I'm really happy with how mine drives and I know it won't cause trouble when towing :thumb2

Good news T-Doug.
Being twin axle it is a steady tow with just a little sideways wiggle when white van man screams past. It's 1900kg max and we use every bit of it i reckon :doh Going from standard tyre size to 31s with lift the towball height a touch but not enough to worry about. I've got them 20% stronger springs fitted but to be honest can't say they've made any difference but it's definitely no worse so they'll be staying on.
A 2" body lift will give the tyres a bit more room and that'll be as far as I go with it:naughty don't think I'll be able to get it done before Wales though, but I want to use the wheels and tyres.
You know what it's like though T-Doug :lol

Oh yes, I know :lol, have you been reading threads on how to do the lift?, from what I can tell lifting the rear bumper up is the hardest bit n that's only a cosmetic thing :nenau
 
Wasn't much to photograph. :nenau only the end result:clap

Thanks T-Doug :thumb2 there's a touch of rubbing on the flaps so I'll take a look after a few miles and trim off the rubbed bits.
Going from 17" to 15" rims was no bother although not sure what the off-set difference is :D

Next job Is drill and tap for Ricks front guard with the help of your pictures. Thanks T-Doug :clap
