no body lift. Everet has one on his, 1.4 inch, but mine is stock as far as body mounts.


Nice...that is good news. I like the looks of your results so far. I do not want to do a body lift this time. For my taste, if I wanted to go more extreme I would rather start saving up for a front and rear axle swap. At any rate, I found that in my own experience, the type of offroading I do did not require more lift than what I had before, in fact i could have gotten by with a bit less lift and been fine. Anyway I'm excited by your results smile

Oh jaybur I forgot to ask, do you have a manual or auto transmission? I hear that makes a difference. 31" tires are more of a hassle with stick shift than they would be with automatic. The slippage of the torque converter helps you get those big wheels rollin'. With my stick shift sporty and 31" tires, it was sometimes a bit hard to get going off the line.

It's just unfortunate though, I feel like 30" tires will work better for me, but it's so tempting to go with 31" tires because they look AWESOME on the sportage...
