How high can a VE Ute be raised before problems start occurring?

I've read that Kong Springs and Peddlers both make a set of 30mm raising springs that go on with the stock absorbers.

I'm looking to raise up the Ute as much as I can without having to do all new mountings and half shafts, though I am a machinist with access to all the materials and tools so it may be the case in the future.

For now I just want to combine springs with some 16" wheels and big fat tyres so I can go "off road".

Thoughts?

Really doubt Pedders or King would market a spring that would require one to buy custom shafts (they're not really into that calibre of stuff), raising it by 30mm really ain't that much in that scheme of things considering how slammed some people make these cars.

Was V5W Country Pack Suspension an option on VE's?

Wasn't meaning to imply they did. I just meant that I've read that I can buy a 30mm set of springs. But if I get larger springs or shock combo then I can make the new halfshouts and mounts at work with my machines.
