    The tuning house has fitted the Amarok with a lift kit that increases its ride height with 40mm. In addition to that, the company has installed a set of lightweight alloy rims that use Mickey Thompson 275/70R18 All Terrain and Mud Terrain tires that add 50mm to the ride height.
    Umm, epic fail right there, unless they only lifted the rear because with the (retarded) front drivetrain design with the split clevis on the struts, anything more than a total 15-20mm lift binds the front CV joints and destroys them!!

    Yeah, maybe in a 1990's patrol, not one of these as not only will it need to be inspected by an engineer which I doubt they would pass, it will affect the calibration of all the active and passive safety systems. This car has electronics so complex, fitting a seemingly simple tow bar becomes a nightmare.

    well thats part of the mickales lift (sp) there are ways and means , i lifted my late model cherokee 4" + tyres and i was told you couldnt lift em more than 40mm drives better now with the right springs and shocks than it ever did stock

    limiting you to no lift will not work a 2" lift + tyres will have this thing humming
