Have any questions? Let us know!

Simple answer is yes. The mother in law cant climb up into my LandCruiser.

My wife said she can make 2” work. Idk how to feel right now

Thanks for this video. Was considering 3" but sticking to 2" now. It helped me better understood the whole concept. You guys rock man!

If you live on the Gold Coast you NEED a 6”+ lift if you’re a real man on your financed dual cab that never goes off road.....

Factual and didn't try to cram every part out there down my throat. I love it. We need more content like this

I so agree! Live in the US and it’s a money making scam to lift your vehicle bigger then 2 inches. These shops swear to you that you need to put bigger tires to go over things better. I made the mistake on listening to a highly recommended shop on installing a 6inch Procomp lift on my FJ. Even though it rides great because of the cvc joints are perfectly level it was not necessary to do and I only run 33s. To run 35 or bigger I would have to re-gear and that another $3-4,000.00 + tire cost. I wish they had more of this stuff on the internet back in 2012. I tell everyone do what the Aussies do, they have been doing it longer and better then us!

Finally the video I’ve been waiting for

Austrailian lifts: change every suspension part so the 4x4 works perfectly. American and Canadian lifts: PUT SOME SPACERS ON AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS YEE YEE

Next video: Best engine mods for your 4x4

That was an amazing video! Great information, well paced, and really well presented and produced. Great work :)

One of the best videos I have seen on explaining all of the necessary modifications needed for a proper lift.

these videos you do are insanly good and informative, explanations are so clear, keep it up !!

This is a great video loaded with useful info. I have a '93 GMC Suburban with IFS. I would like to lift it to get bigger tires but now I know not to go over a two inch lift (as I suspected). The vehicle has 31" but I would like to fit 35" tires. I have learned that anything bigger such as 37" or more would be a mechanical nightmare for this particular truck. Thanks guys down under for all your great advice.

This video really made me aware of how different the offroad culture and obstacles are from Australia to the US, because on-road capability is often scrapped entirely to be able to tear up anything here in the US. Bigger, stronger, and more flex, that's how it is here, especially in Jeep circles. And also, we don't have to deal with any modification tax or fees until your rig looks more like a 4-ton side by side buggy than an actual truck and you still wish to ride on roads, so people have nothing stopping them from putting 1-ton axles and 45's on their rig. Still awesome, but different.

Best lifting video for offroad in KZfaq. Great job!!

Excellent tutorial! Well done, really good visuals that explain things clearly, that us newbies wouldn’t get from just verbal descriptions. Thanks!

Excellent advice about maximum viable tyre size for a given lift. Ideally, you want to run the biggest tyres you can safely use with the lowest suspension lift possible while maintaining or increasing travel. Maximizing tyre diameter, ground clearance and usable travel while minimizing center of mass height.

I used to watch every video but now I finally remembered this channel and my dad gave me the dvd's and now I can watch on youtube

this is really, really good. Extremely thorough but concise, the visuals are superb. I've been reading and watching on this topic for two years and I understand more about what goes on from the first half of this video than all the rest combined. I mean, there's a lot of good stuff by good guys out there but you boys nailed it.

Absolutely the best suspension video I’ve seen. Great info and very well delivered. Nice work.

Been waiting for this video all day!! Hello from Houston, TX, USA. I'm ordering my 3" lift for my fzj80 now. Thanks a bunch guys. Yall rock!!

I’d love a video on all of the snorkels you guys run on your different rigs and why.

Brilliant video as always! Don’t forget though ever inch you lift on a live axle vehicle, without castor correction it also shorten the wheel base.

Running 3 inch lift in my hdj81 with 35s plenty of flex nice and stable. I have done everything covered in this video. Good to know I was doing it right.

It's times like this I love living in the USA, depending on were you live you can go rediculously high, but big lifts,big tires means nothing if you don't have good and proper shafts and angles and almost equally important a axle that can handle the tires with breaks that can stop them.

3" and 35's perfect for every patrol and cruiser

Great video folks. Has helped me make some decisions with regard to my new Ranger. Much appreciation from this Canadian.

This video has me re-thinking what I am going to do with my Jeep YK .. thanks for the knowledge guys.

If I wanted to lift my truck 4", I'd just chuck the missus out...

Excellent video! I now understand what I need to do to my 18 F150! I was gonna do the dumb thing and go for the 4 inch lift (which involves lots of cutting and cash) but now I can actually look for a 3 in setup that can do well, if not better! Keep the great vids coming👍

Running a 3" OME suspension and 33's on my 2004 Toyota Tacoma and I love it! Handles great on the road and amazing on the tracks!

G'Day All, I have fitted a 2in Suspension upgrade (TJM) on my 2019 D-Max running 265 AT's, I'm very pleased with the ride, before the upgrade and the ute was fitted with all the extras front and back the standard suspension was flat lined, since fitting great ride, cornering is better, and around better off road, Thanks for the upload can't wait for the next, cheers.

2" Dobinsons coils with Bilstein shocks, guard chop and hello 33s for the Discovery 2.

Need jock and his hilux in more videos

thanks for bringing all information together into one video!

Fantastic Explanations. Simple and concise! Thanks for putting this together

Thanks Jocko that was excellent.

6" and 40s get amongst it

Great video Jocko we need to see you more in the videos mate 👍

Get some GU’s in your videos please @4WD Action, id love to see more of the camera car nulon rig👌

2" lift in the 80 series with King springs and it fits 35" tyres pretty easy. Although measuring it up it's probably closer to 3". The arb cheat buttons help it go most places.

Very clear and concise, great work Jocko

Your an absolute LEGEND BRO!! Thoroughly explained, planning on doing a 3 inch lift on a chevy 56 truck and putting 32 inch tyres. Hope all goes well

8" gets all the Shiella's, I'm talking lift

"Are bigger lifts better?" Answer: Buy a solid axel truck.

Thanks boys that's the video I've been waiting for I'm running a 2inch lift and 35s my 79 it's a good ride but over year the previous owner has had some big weight on it and has made it sag so now I'm going to a 3inch lift to clear the 35s and keep the rd driving at it's best

Thanks mate as a 53 yr old grandfather I still learnt from this Vid...cheers 😀

I’ve got a 5 inch lift in my 1998 ifs Hilux, it has a diff drop and wasn’t to hard or expensive to put in. The extended shocks did it wonders

my n60 get me everywhere with 2 inch lift 32s and rear looker I wish I could sas it but not worth 8g+ to do so it works good as it is and good on road so just send it

I have a quality 2" inch lift and 32's on my dual cab, handles and drives better than ever. Cheers for the tips.

Another banga vid boys!! I’ve got a 2” front with a custom leaf pack in the rear!

Hello l9s I follow from Chile I ask you from the heart to put subtitles please greetings and thanks

WHATS with THE audio SWITCHING between SHOUTING & whispering BETWEEN each SEGMENT?

Great video! - much needed, thank you! 35's on a 2" lift seems to work fine on the Nissan Patrol GU 2012. So far off-road, the wheels haven't scrapped body or guards. Has Tough Dog suspension.

Good info Jocko, finally some mention of the legalities. Too many many people put large lifts in vehicles and call it good without proper engineering.

I've got 4 inches and 35s on my 80... handles great and flexes like a mad dog offroad 👌

2:47 I live in the States here in Oregon, we don't have severe lift laws. My neighbor has a crew cab Powerstroke on 54" Swampers and sometimes daily drives it. Highway speeds at 65mph easy.

best visual presentation of how to understand 4x4 setups for beginners much appreciated mate cheers. thanks for sharing.

Great channel y’all, love it!!! I’m running 6” lift on 35”s.

3 inch with 33s all day every day

Summarize: independent suspension should not be lifted more than 2" - or it gets really expensive. Solid axle can be lifted to 4". But don't do it because it is expensive and makes the vehicle handle like poop. LOL

for a young bloke, jocko has got heaps and heaps of very use full knowledge that can help so many people

Great video, very informative and easy to understand. Thanks!

I run 2” lift and 31’s. I’ve yet to be stopped on a trail because I’m not tall enough.

Should've gone to Superior Engineering mate!

Dude... this video has fantastic tips. Thank you for this, you point out lots of things to think about that most people wouldnt. Liked Subbed

Super handy visually seeing what happens with a lift in real time.

Didn't mention drop boxes? I personally run full superior engineering 4" hyper flex kit with 7" shocks bump stops to suit. Drives beautiful on road and off road. They aren't race cars so don't drive it like one. You get what you pay for. And knowledge is power. Do you research.

Great vid, but needed a cooking segment in the middle with Gaz and Shauno pissfarting around drunk as usual

man this video shows so much info. good stuff

Such a great video. Makes me confident with the lift kit I have purchased for myself now. Jock - Please feauture in more videos mate! You're great! Cheers.

I'm running 9 in lift with 38s on my bronco in the usa no problems no hassles from Jonny law

Got a 4" lift in my ifs hilux for over 2 years, Heavy 4x4ing and long trips with next to no issues, 2" cost $990 3" is $1100 and the 4" was 1300 so when you said each inch is an extra $1000 is a bit over exaggerated

I learned so much! Thank you Im only lifting my truck a little less than 2 in. Just heavy duty leaf springs in the rear, then even it out in the front with new Bilstein shocks

Great video Jocko.. Explained well, Keep the videos coming Legend!

2” lift and 37’s in my series 4 gu patrol, feels a lot better on 37’s than 35’s.

Laying in bed here in the US and i noticed the lack of leaf spring lift info

4 inch lift with my 80 and love it run sway bar rear none in front and twin locked it’s a beast 1HDT love the 80 life

A wealth of valuable and well laid out information

Imagining living Australia and needing a permit to lift your “ute” lol

Been waiting all day!!!

Excellent video Jocko! I own a 2015 Ford F150 (Canadian) with a 3" lift. The lift kit I bought came with a heavier control arm with the angle changed to keep my CV's at or very near where they are from stock. The 3" kit was just under $150 more than a 2" kit was thus why I went with a little more, I figured $150 wasn't bad for an extra inch. But the 4", very expensive & whoever does it has to buy quite a few extras to make the IFS F150 steer, handle, etc., it's nuts!! And the kit itself is over $1000 more than a 2" lift kit is without getting a whole lot more. My kit came with heavier shocks, struts, the upper control arms & bits & pieces for brake lines and such. Anyway, that's why I only lifted my pickup 3", it was an affordable option ($800 in my case) & it gives me enough lift with the new rims & 33" tires I'm easily satisfied with it.

Yoooou don’t neeeed a sway baaaaar

Stupidest lift I’ve seen. Jeep Cherokee on a 3” lift with 20” rims and low profile tyres. Here in Perth. Spent the rest of the day laughing my head off.

Most infomative vdo ever .... i waz confused abut lifting my SUV ... how much should i go 2 or 4 or 6 ... now i understnd d pros n cons of lifting ... thanks bro ...

i'm running an Old Man Emu lift in a Suzuki Samurai. 1.5 inches, spring under. Love it! Handles really nice still, better ride than factory, and flexes nicely. That with some rock sliders, auto lockers front and rear, a set of bumpers and a winch. It will go places that I wouldn't dare take a spring over samurai. All that on 29" tires to keep from breaking axle shafts.

rocking the 4" lift on my TJ love it.

Always in touch with ur videos n a great job done..love shauno's drive

This video has made me realize that I need to think about more than just lifting my 4wd. I'm turning my bog stock 1995 TF Holden Rodeo into a work ute and a mad 4wd. I now know what I need to do to make it as good a car as I can thanks to you guys your such an inspiration to me. Can't wait to see if I can meet you guys one day and show you my 4wd.

On ya Jocko!! Great video, with very useful info.

Outstanding review boys.

ive been in the offroad empire for more than 30 years this is a great video and explains these topics wonderfully..i found one thing id like to point out jock said ( all these vehicles have 2inch lifts and go all over AU with no issues) now depending on how you look at it ..one might consider winching to be an issue and you guys winch alot usually from what i can see its because the vehicle got hung up on something. where as if you all ran lockers and a 4 inch lift and bigger tires it would not happen as much..but like was stated in your video its all about what you wanna do off road.keep the videos coming i love watching your guys adventures..me personally my off road truck is a 1983 f150 4x4 long wheelbase with a 4 inch suspension lift and 3 inch body lift rolling on 35's working dual fuel tanks lockers front and rear front bumper and winch mount made by me with a warn 12k winch among other things on board air a bit of water and on board welder.

Great video, very informational and professional.

Awesome video I learned so much and feel more confident lifting my truck

Bonjour, hi. From saint-hyacinthe, Québec, Canada. Hi have a 2004 toyota 4runner v8 (prado120) with a OME 2.5 inch hd coils lift and it rides like a charm. For better clearance i had a 1.5 inch bodylift. Lots of space for the 255/80r17 (33x10 inch). I Listen to every of your youtube videos. Brings a little bit of heat, joy and sun in this cold winter here !!!!

I am in Dallas Texas and I have an 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK/WH with a 2 inch OME lift. I think it actually rides much better with the lift on it. Great videos, keep up the good work.

I put in a 2" lift on the GU a few months ago, but havent been out on a track with it yet cause of the damn bushfires! Really looking forward to getting out on the tracks soon.

Fantastic expose on how all this works.....

Great presentation there Jock!
