I have 75 series ute sand I've been contemplating whether to do a suspension lift or not. There seems to be plenty of room underneath for oil changes etc. without needing a jack so not sure why I would need a lift if I'm not going to do anything extreme 4x4wise, any views on pluses and minuses?
To lift or not to lift that is the question....

I do not see a need to LIFT it its fine the way it is.

That is stock and doesn't rub? What is the width? I thought 33x10.5 would rub on a stock 70 series.
Looks great by the way.

That lovely beast looks like it has lift springs under it, the stock springs would be flat.

We added one spring on the right rear recently to level it up. I have added no springs ever to this truck its running 35" MAXXIS MT's under it. THe original shackles wore out and were replaced with after market ones and I chopped off the extended parts to pass inspection to stop it ever "being lifted" as it got a FAIL in 2005 at an inspection.
Front guards rub under certain turning angle and bumps and will ge cut away during the restore . Still trying to find a new body for it.

BUdget paint job performed for a total cost of $20USD and 8 cans of paint by a westernerner who did not like the yellow. The black el cheapo paint job is peeling off I saw the painter the other day at a workshop he was inspecting his new BODY being put on his LC II after his rollover and complained to him the previous paint job sucked and I want my money back and a new paint job done for free. LOL
