I figure it would be worth doing in a few years when the truck is paid off and I move on to something newer. (mybe an X6 trade in?) or just swap over to the emplotee lease deals. Then I could have the worlds first lifted BMW X5!
Aside from extra clearance, what the X really needs for off road use is more wheel travel but that's easier said than done.

PS: My Pirelli ATRs are my do-everything tyre. You could go heaps more aggressive if you have two sets of wheels. Interesting to see the Paris-Dakar X3CC (pic above) is on 16s...
