You'll be needing relocation cones

Yes understand I would need relocation cones, poss bump stops or shock mounts extended brake lines ect.

The only reason I know why you should lift a landy is to fit bigger wheels to make room for those wheels under the arches.

I can fit 35 wheels without needing to do a lift (space framed front on my landy) Is there any reason I should also do a lift (body or suspension)?

I would have a read at the 'read this before lifting your landy' thread, it might very well put you off. Big tyres are probably a better option but bear in mind that the bigger the tyres the more stress it will put on hub components

35" wheels must take some mahooooosive tyres.

I asked this a while ago, may be worth a read.

A lift helps ramp over angle. Not just for big wheels.

The problem with fitting +5's and no lift springs is topping out the shock when you articulate.
