Re: 35" tyres on a GU
My gu (2000 4.5), with 33" tyres. Still got plenty of space to go bigger.
Not sure how much lift this suspension got, bought the vehicle with it installed.

Fanus ek dink die ouer model GU tot 2004 met die kleiner flares, het dalk meer plek as die nuwe 2005 en op, met die grooter flares??

Re: 35" tyres on a GU
Well just some findings on my side.
I have had 35" tyres on 2 sets of rims and the only time I had the tyres touching somewhere was when the offset was too much and the tyres was sticking out past the fender flaires.
As soon as I moved the offset back and the tyres are flush with the flairs (or not sticking out more than 10mm) it runs perfect and does not touch anywhere.
Will post some pics.
