A 2" lift is the most popular choice for GU Ute owners, providing improved ground clearance for moderate off-road use while maintaining practical daily driving characteristics. This height suits most common accessory combinations including bullbars, winches, canopies, and roof racks without excessive rake or handling compromise. If you're running particularly heavy rear loads like toolboxes and water tanks, discuss spring rate options with our team to ensure the rear leaf springs can support the weight while maintaining the desired ride height.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is essential after installing any lift kit on your GU Patrol Ute. Lifting the vehicle alters suspension geometry and camber angles, which can cause uneven tyre wear and compromised handling if not corrected. Most reputable alignment shops are familiar with lifted GU Patrols and can set toe, camber, and caster to manufacturer specifications adjusted for the new ride height. Budget for this additional cost when planning your suspension upgrade, as proper alignment protects your investment in new tyres and suspension components.
