I don't like spending my money :pinch:
If your going to use it on the road 90% of the time like me then don't go spending lots of money, Try it stock or with some 205or215/75/15 M/Ts +spring spacers from BIG JIMNY or BITS4VITS ;)

Thanks for the replys guys :)

When I eventually go off roading it will be with my brother (Defender) and his buddy (Range Rover), i'm pretty sure the max i'll need is a 3" lift? Green laning, camping with my boy and the odd shooting jaunt if I ever get some shooting rights!!!.............I'm pretty certain I wont be extreme off roading, but you never know :whistle:

It seems wheels/tyres are a must so for an extra £270 I could have a 3" lift, seems pretty good value to me and i'd have 'MOST' of my bases covered.............I must admit though, Dirtydogz idea does make a hell of a lot of sense ;)

Kind regards

Emplan

That's OK mate your very welcome.B)
And if go for springs go for 2 inch you are only lifting the body+chassis
The tyre height will give you more diff clearance,IE 75 will give you about 1inch :)
