Hi all, First proper post, ok to run 31s i need a 5 inch lift! So im looking at a 2 inch suspension lift and a 3 inch body lift - now for the suspension ive read in a few places to use the following astra mark 2 shocks grand vitara springs not sure how much this will lift my suspension by, and if i need any other bits and bobs, also what is needed for the body lift. so if i could have a shopping list so i can get some prices in my notepad! Also driveshaft/c.v problems, how do i get around this, again a shopping list for bits and bobs... is it an easy task, my brother in law is pretty good mechanically and i help him out, so providing its not rocket science we can give it go with a good guide! failing that its finding a mechanic who would be willing to do the work! hope have some help and advice! thanks alot

you may have to fit wider arches if u havent got them already,but apart from that we all run 32 mm spacers with no probs on bearings etc,,not sure but i dont think your get 2 inches off lwb shock best person for that question is abdul astra shocks fit sjs but not vits i dont think procomps r best for lift shocks and springs and 3 inch strong box section cut in bits will do lift brake pipes if disconnected off wings will reach steering bar drill pin then lengthen and put piece of correct size pipe in fuel pipe to lengthen,,or 3 inch lift tank

corsa b deisel shocks can be used aswell but got to make up a new bottom mount on the axle. ive got them on mine along with soa conversion and 2"shackles and 31's seem way to small for it think its about a 6-7" lift in total. i dont seem point in body lift to be honest might aswell s.o.a axle it, standard shackles and job done. abdul does it.
