Are you going for road legal?

SPOA is a bit of a fart on. I'm on 31s, got 33s to go on with only 1.5" lift and virtual lifted the rest.

If you do go SPOA watch for diff and prop angles. Try and avoid prop spacers and get the props extended instead.

:welcome2: to :suzuki: club UK kidda

Looks like you've got a fun project ahead of you, personally I wouldn't tray back it, you'll soon be annoyed with the lack of storage space, especially if it goes on the road one day, it'll also be worth more if you ever decide to sell if the body is complete and all rust as been repaired.

Suing that though, you could get the 31s on just by doing a virtual lift and it will not need any lift so will be more stable and your prop angles will better.

:doublethumbs: most of all have fun and enjoy it though!

It be nice to get it back on the road but there's no Id and I think the body shell is abit far gone it was looked after once but the last few owner have done some really bad repairs to the shell and the chassis someone also cut the spring hangers off the chassis and rewelded them poorly but my dad will make sure it's all strong and safe before he lets me go driving it
Also thanks for the welcome and the advice
