how much on average is a engineers cert.

research will show you to avoid OME

ideally to run 285's you need a 2" suspension lift and a 2" body lift. this is the easiest way to do it.
otherwise if u go with just the suspension lift, running a negative offset rim and some guard bashing will allow you to run 285's but modding the guards is hard work. much easier to spend a day and fit a body lift.

Depending on what state you are in will determine if you need an engineering cert. i think in some states it is illegal to have a body lift

Most people have not got engineers certs. Thats why its hard to find a cost.

Also, if you go bigger than 265s, you are going to notice the engine struggling to push the bigger tires around. To make up for this you need a chip, bigger exhaust etc....... $$$$$ , goes on and on.

piss that old man emu shit off, go for bilstein shocks with EFS/Lovells/Dobinsons springs.

If you dont carry constant weight then DONT get heavy duty springs ect

The harder the springs the less flex you will get, not only that but the ride will be very harsh

I've got the same car and had MT muddies and a tough dog 2" lift fitted from brand new. My second nav I've had this done to. Go and talk to Murray at Beach road Tyres and brakes, he did both my cars. Great service at a good price.

If you want to catch up and have a look at mine let me know.

Cheers,
Mike

I went to Apes springs and got efs shocks all round with king springs. Job was done in a day and the whole lot cost about 2000 including wheel alignment. very professional crew and if you chat with them in what you want you will be given suggestions on what is available. I have had mine now for just under a month and is going well onroad. just waiting to get offroad in 2 weeks time. that will be my test. i am running LT 265/76/16 as well. got about 2.5 lift in front and 2.75 in rear.
