Re: What i have been up to at work

Will you post pics after the first firing trails. Because if that is a 60mm long range mortar it's going to bend that LC suspension. The recoil force is more than 5 tons, unless you fire only charge zero.

Re: How much is too much?? (Lift)

30mm space should roughly give you 57mm lift which is fine, going more will cause problems. Not sure what size tyres you are running but lets say ie you are on 245/70/16's and you go to say 265/70/16, this in itself will lift your belly by 70mm, quite a difference! The radius of 245/70/16 is 374.65...
