Great - a spring lift alone will not allow a larger wheel and/or tyre. The tyre/wheel size is determined by the spring perch and, unless you have swapped to coil-overs, that has not changed.

Is that 55mm, just with springs? or do a pedders do a longer strut or something? I'd love to see some photo's too
