16" wheels is the way forward Although most CJ Jeeps tend to sit low

You could get longer springs or spring assisters. How about going the full hog and getting a compressor driven gas powered adjustable kit from the custom boys.
The problem is the higher you get, the worse the handling becomes because your suspension geometry goes all to hell.
Maybe the best way is a 'body lift' to give the impression of a taller suspension set-up?
Maybe just the addition of new springs would lift it enough to make it look more sensible..........at least thats the route I am going.

bathtub, I've heard that you're thinking of fitting Portals.
Will you still get through the trees at the AFC next year?

How to jack up an RV? Well I don't know about an RV but here's a piccy of the Sierra that I pinched the rear suspension from to fit on the SS! How was it done? Well after removing the Sierra rear supsension I needed to keep the donor mobile (at least, towable). The clapped out Cortina rear axle removed from the SS was turned upside down and backwards so the spring hangers matched up with chassis points on the Sierra. It was then solid welded into place. Voila! a towable Sierra, ready for the scrappy. Just a few more parts to take off it then I can have half my drive back. I am sure the above will be a great help to those of you who aspire to greater heights! Keep smiling, Chaz.

Sounds good, see you there next year (if we get in again). As a matter of interest, how much do you reckon your RV weighs when you're carrying the challenge kit on it.
