body lift bullet points please

(1/7) > >>

Hi guy's. I know that there is alot on here about body lift's, but everything is a bit jumbled up  :? I'm starting mine this weekend,probably running into next weekend looking at the weather forecast. What I want to do is do a step by step guide with photo's. Tool's needed,  that sort of thing. What I dont want to do is to much going back overstuff that i've missed cos it's going to take long enough to do with the photo taking and laying tools out and parts etc. This is what I've got planned so far,(not including tools and parts etc)

1)  remove transfer lever
2)  jack up vehicle on axle stands
3)  loosen all body mounts
4)  remove tie bars
5)  undo steering bracket
6)  Do something with brake lines ?
7)  undo top radiator mount's
8  fit spacers etc
9)  put it all back together

I will be changing the bushes etc but at a later date. I will then either add it into this write-up or do one on it's own.
Any idea's ? anything I need to change or add ?

way2deep:
1.i didn't need to touch transfer lever
2.didn't jack it up .left it on the ground  :D
3 undid all body mounts on one side only 'done mine one side at a time
4 yep
5 yep
6 brake lines need replacing really,but have known people not to  :shock:
7 yep .remove fan cowling too ,modify to refit
8 undo filler pipe to tank and re fit afterwards
9 now fit spacers
10 put all back together
 is it manual if so keep eye on clutch slave cylinder pipe ,gets a bit stretched  :shock:
keep eye on oil cooler pipes power steering pipes that attach form inner wings to front x member
keep all bolts well sprayed in wd40 for couple of days .make job a lot easier

most import tho     HAVE FUN      :lol: :lol:

Thank's robbie  :D See this is what i was looking for  :clap: I had forgotten about the filler neck  :doh: I have a brake pipe kit and pipe here so I'll modify if need be, as I go. I'll add it to the write-up. It might come in usefull for somebody. Off now to dose everything in wd40  [-o<

Don't forget to have a blow torch handy (cheap gas one from B&Q), a wire brush to hand will also be good.

You really need to put spacers under the boot floor (I haven't yet but I will do at some stage) x4. Be prepared to find rust in all manner of places (I had to make to new front floor sections!)

And remember to undo the seat belt mounting points x4 (heat gun helps here quite alot)

I did mine about 3 weeks ago, and boy was it alot of aggro, but well worth it  :dance:
