body lift bullet points please
stuntman:
The seat belt extensions (tie rods) can be bought from wizard on here or via ebay

My tax has run out and the power steering box gone so had nothing to lose to try the lift and see what happened :evil: I already have the spacers,nyloc nuts and bolts so thought what the hell :roll: Now i'm thinking oh hell :twisted: :twisted:
barriesheene:
I just thought i'd prove that I am trying to get on with it ! :lol: :lol: :lol:
stuntman:
They are actually better than mine, I had to replace 8 out of 10 body mounts, replace both front foot wells and rebuild the front radiatot supports,
Oh then I discovered my chassis was twisted and that the rear right chassis end had snapped at the shock mount and the trailing arm bracket had snapped on one side at the axel. Oh and both sills had collapsed and the sedimeter fell off :clap:
Kepp your chin up chap and remember, if you get something like 60x60 box section and cut it into 'L' peices then weld sides on you have a really strong bracket, I then used a hole saw bit in the drill and made a new hole in it.
Only thing I can say is once you get used to it you'll want to go higher! I do, just make sure all your bump stops are in good condition as you will get more lean on corners or off road and you really want the stops to work!

I have just completed my 40mm bodylift, with thanks to the chaps on here with great advise, 40mm spacers from ebay and the rest of the kit from Wizard. His kit also gives you the guide to exactly what to do. All I would add to that already added in this string is get a good small angle grinder and a nut splitter to remove those rusted up bolts. When you've done the lift you will need to think about raising the bumpers by the same amount so that the bumper-corners fit; either that or lower the brackets on the wings/quarters. I have made a bracket for the rear bumper and will attempt to weld up a bracket for the front next week.
Good luck.
