Advice for body lift
clbarclay:
Single biggest factor affecting how long it takes I found was the state of the bushes and the bolts through them. You could always set about renewing the bushes one weekend and then do the rest of the lift the next.

You'll need to replace the bolts when your doing a lift anyways.
Buy new nuts /bolts and bushes these are relatively cheap. the expensive part if the metal bush holders the majority or yours you should be able to reuse, but you may need to replace a couple but they are expensive...

Doing my pajero this weekend (2.5 ") Doing the wife's paj first cos it seem's alot more straight forward and it's already got the bigger tyre's :twisted: Hoping to do my rangie in the next couple of week's tho, ( it'll look on stilt's for a while tho cos it's got the original wheels/tyre's on :lol: )So how is yours coming along ??? Could you do it again now in a weekend ??? or is there just too much to change ? I'll need it straight back on road so I need to know everything that need's to be changed immediatly before hand. Not worried about seat belt mounting point's and bumpers etc cos there is only me using the car ! :roll:

Hi , yes it could be done in a weekend.I had all the mounts in and lifted in one day.Its just the other fiddley bits that need doing afterwards like moving the rad mounts down and making spacers for the floor supports on the back.I still haven't lengthened the tie bolts either,but i haven't put it back on the road yet.I'll take some pictures when i can get the camera working .
I've modded the front bumper to sit higher now also.

Can post pics if you need a clearer explanation.
