Why do you want this extra lift? It only raises COG and makes it worse round corners and also worse offroad.
I have a 4" ora suspension lift which I think is 1" too tall. Would have preferred a +3" lift now that I have driven with the +4".

very true im very happy with my 3" lift the only way I will go higher is when I run bigger tyres (if I do) from 29inch to 31inch if I get any rubbing then ill just do a quick 1 inch body lift as articulation on mines ok, higher is not allways better just 1 inch makes so much different to the drive as your need different radious arms etc to correct the axles or it will get wosre to drive and higher cog and more articulating all add up to a intresting drive round couners etc allmost6 to the point of having to drive it so slow on the road its useless

Ok so maybe bigger tyres is an option I'm sitting on 28s ATM but obviously I'm gonna sacravice power and I'm a bit worried if do go taller about rubbing on guards anyone had any problems with bigger tyres ???
