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.
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

If you have the money
www.jimnybits.co.uk/shop/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=1 . if you need to save money.
they are both good buys.
