xg ute, i want it lifted enough to fit 33" tires
how do they go about lengthening a arms? bigger leafs with the diff under leafs at the back should do looking for an 6-8"suspention lift and if possible a body lift.. never herd of anyone doing it to a falcon ute befor hmm it dosnnt have to be all engineered and tht because this will be used for offroad racing cheers |

thank f**k, a refreshing post, someone who doesnt want to lower their car to be fully sik and totally impractical, maybe try and find out the specs on the Holden Overlanders? i think it was HZ that was jacked right up to 4WD height, looked good, good luck.

Did the XG have a full chassis? I didn't think that it did, which might rule out a body lift. Similar to what Disco Frank said, I think the earlier XY/W 4WD utes were also mated to a toyota chassis.
Check some 4WD forums and see what they know.

I'm pretty shore that they did use landcruiser chassis under the holden body's. I have seem a few around. If you get the big off-road wheels/tyres on with enough clearance height you would raise it all up about 8-12" easily.

it must be doable though, Ive seen a VN commodore around here with full toyota 4x4 running gear so if thats toable i'd expect this is too.
expensive but doable |

My cousin had a HJ Wagon with a cruiser chassis, it was pink/blue & looked crap.. There's also a white one in Pakenham..
