2" body lift.

(1/3) > >>

murph:
I want to lift my Disco body by 2", I already have a 2" suspension lift on it, what do I need watch out for, is it an easy job, do I have ot do anything with the steering linkages etc. :roll:

All cause I want some big wheels and tyres..

There is a post on LROi at the mo covering most of this. You may have to get a small extension for steering columb, The gear seletor will move down so may require a larger opening as may the hi/low selector. You will also have to extend the brake lines. Check Lhama4x4 as He sells custom lengths at very good prices.
Youy will also have to make or buy longer seatbelt ties for the rear and rear floor supports. You will have to extend the fuel filler and might have to unclip some wires where they run allong the chassis to take tension off them. Youy will have to trim the fan shroud so ythe fan clears as the rad will move with the body !
Quite a job to do it properly . I had an 8" body lift on my old trooper  !!

discodj:
if you fit an Equipe body lift kit you will not need to extend any thing
look at www.lrsoffroad.co.uk this wil be atshows this year it has the lbody lift kit on and the Equipe extreme kit on it

bullfrog:
I take it the equip lift has all parts included then ?
It must include seat belt ties as these are a legal and MOT requirement and as such would need extended mounts to tie them to chassis or seats and belts would have to be removed.
Nice chassis by the way.  :?: £££ :?:

Murph, what tyres have you got in mind? Ive got 35's on mine with a 2 inch lift so you dont necessarily need to lift the body.
