standard springs or +1"

TAKE the side step off that will help no end there always going to be bashed on standard height.

if u still need them lift them up just below the level of the door that will help and still give an easy in and out

have'nt got round to taking them off yet,the problem with a 2" lift is my tyres are only 205/ 80 mt i think they might look a bit silly,just been phoneing around i can get a lift 4 shocks 4 springs for £200
just working out whether its cheaper just to buy the front shocks and 4,  1" springs  this i think would lift it,
i use it alot on the road and the handling is brilliant i would hate to lift it and then the handling on road be all over the place,if you see what i mean

mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
see what u mean 205/80/16 would be very unstable . when i had a series 3 county on 205s it was a hand full . id seriously conisered swapping them for wider ones 235/70/16 minium

try mm4x4 they do a 1 inch kit for about 185 quid or its 25 quid for spacers from wizard with maybe new standard springs in place

J.D.:
Put some new standard springs on it, and plus 1 or 2" shock abosrbers. This will give you the same ride height, but better handling and extended articulation off road.

Dislocation cones and extended brake lines will be needed though. I ran +1" shocks and the same size tyres as you when I bought my truck and it did make off roading better, and handled better with new springs.

i hadnt thought about it that way around
do you think the vehicle will be unstable on those tyres with a 1" lift ?
