Hi once again gents.

1. Im looking to do a body and suspension lift on my gen2 2.8 jap import SWB. who supplies the lift kits and at what cost?

2. What are my options for 33" tryes? cost?

3. Locally i have seen some shocks (gabriel and monroe) retailing at the equivalent of R2350 for the four (dont have model numbers) is this a fair price?

4. Which Hilux shocks can be used on the paj? they are cheaper and easier to get...

5. My rims are a mix of BFG (hurra) and Centerline so mt rims although oldish are from great brands and still look good. currently i have 31x10,5x15 fitted can these hold the 33's?

2. I have a 2.8Tdi, 33" looses a lot of power on the hills, as do 32" which I am currently running. 33"s are great for grade4 trails, especially when removing the running boards - mine bent with 33"s :oops:

3. I fitted Gabriel Kubus @ R4000 six months ago. I rate these mid market, and yes, you can buy those mentioned for cheaper, but they won't stand up to off-roading very well - you get what you pay for.

Enjoy your upgrades, and rather to them well over time and enjoy the benefits :mrgreen:
