Advice for body lift

<< < (2/10) > >>

buster uk:
cheers guys,
I did try a search and read some info,also that link to the tomax range rover build.Just wanted help from people that have actually done the job.

Im planning on running 35" tyres .ive got a 2" lift and thought a 2" body lift and flared arches would do it.

Im not sure what you mean about the oil cooler but im sure all will become apparent when i do it.

Any more tips ? Do i just go and undo all the mounts and things that will stop the body lifting like steering shaft etc then use a high lift jack to lift the body ?
Also the seat belt anchors and the two tie bolts under the body,where are these please ?


cheers,
andy

Unless the pipe layout is different on yours to mine, just watch out for the auto box oil cooler pipes around the radiator as you lift the body.

The rear seat belt anchor bolts are bellow the rear floor just in front of the chassis cross member in front of the fuel tank. The front tie bolts are just inside the chassis rails, along the middle section of the chassis.

A high lift will do or a trolly/bottle jack. Slaken/remove anything like tie bolts or steering shaft and remove all the nuts of the body mount bolts. I then did one side at a time, remove the bolts, lift, fit spacers, fit longer bolts and then lower again before moving on to the next side.

The most time consuming jobs for me were removing the old rubber mounts as I was replacing them and removing the tie bolts to the chassis.

buster uk:
What are tie bolts ? I've never heard of them  :oops:

Range Rover Blues:
Seat belt anchorage tie bolts I believe.

Anyone mention the filler neck yet?

buster uk:
Ah yes the fuel filler.
Is it rubber or use a rubber coupling at all ? If so i could just extend it i suppose.Something else to undo before i lift the body,thanks for the tip.
