Ok guys, Not sure what my tyres are i'll look when im at home next, Im no experienced wielder so cutting sh*t up is out of the question unless my mate can do it, I will proberly go for 2-3" lift as our council love those pikey barriers round here!
Thanks for all the advice!

Well i run 31" tires, and happened to have a flatty ..

As my samurai was rotten the arches just fell out when i took the plastic trim off. Im running 31s no bother. Standard springs.
Fabrication and welding wasnt too bad. Passed 1st MOT in 5 years 2nd time round. Only failed on no exhaust n a hole in the bonnet.
Had to get off set rims and wheel spacers to stop it fouling on full lock and cut the bulk head back 3" for clearance. If i put bump stops back on and a 2.5 or 3" lift i can probably go straight to 33s.

I think it looks good because it's got the rock sliders under the sills... they make the body look lower down.
I reckon it would look a bit more odd without the sliders...

This is true, but dont forget it has a 2" body lift. And the sliders are where there botom of the body would be.... this is what it looked like before i moved them up...
And the bumper
And this is it without the cage, i prefer this look to any

Truck looks great mate, Im thinking about a 2 inch body lift, Is it hard with the lift and then moving the bumpers/sliders up?
Thanks for all the help guys...

Dead easy to lift, hardest part is getting the old nuts undone.
Me and my mate did his in about a hour all done. You may need to take the fuel filler pip off and let it slide down the metal pipe on the wing a bit, also unbolt the brake line clamp thing on the front chassis let. Gear sticks should be ok but just see how it goes.
Oh and thanks for the compliment on the truck
