      Hi pal, I’m also in Wigan. The lift kit isn’t needed for the mud tyres I just did that to increase ground clearance for green lanes and also the option to put bigger tyres on later. The steel wheels I have are tuff torque as mine is a laureate and has the alloys but obviously they will break if you hit something on a lane.
