I'll add it to the write-up. It might come in usefull for somebody. Off now to dose everything in wd40  [-o<

May have misread but it is the flexi hoses that need extending or the fixing to the inner wing lowering  ;)

The flexi hoses will need to be extended as the fixing between them and the copper pipes is in the wheelarch so will go up the height of the body lift,but if you have access to a brake pipe kit you could make longer copper pipes and move the fixing to the chassis which is what I plan on doing when I lift mine :lol:

Range Rover Blues:
If you have the chassis on axle stands rather than on the wheels it will stop it boucing up and down as you try to free the body.  Just a thought.

BTW, why move the steering bracket :? you only need loosen the steering shaft so it can slide a little.

You'll need to watch the earth straps, take the bumper corners off, watch the fuel and brake lines if they ae fastened to the floor under the driver's seat, watch the oil cooler pipes as they go under the front of the chassis but mount on the body, and any parts of the wiring loom that go from the body to the chassis (gearbox, fuel tank, air suspension etc).

barriesheene:
Ok, so far I've;-
slackened steering shaft, undone all body mounts, removed front bumber, removed rear corner bumpers, removed transfer lever knob, found a hole in the passenger footwell  :roll: and found lots and lots of rust  :evil: but everything is on stop now because i was hoping to reuse the bushes on the mount's but they are all shagged  :doh: Any idea where i can get the new bushes from and an approx price. It's not the bushes as such it's the metal plates on top of the bush have just rotted away.

Hello matey, try your local engineering shop, they should be able to make you up some very cheap washers without much aggro.
