Hi all , im looking at doin a 2 inch bodylift to my 92 WT , should i do this b4 or after a suspenion lift ?? wanna run 31x10.5xr15's also does any one have any tips on the lift do's and dont's any replies appreciated

[zookster666]

Beat advise I can offer is avoid body lifts as long as you can I run 31x10.5 with no b/l and I get very little scrubbing
I do run bumpstop spacers and my front guards have been massaged though which helps

[just_cruizin]

The body lift is $210, a suspension lift is about $600+. You'll want both eventually anyways so do as your budget allows. Can you fit 31's without a BL, yes, if you intend to bash the yell out of wheel arches with a hammer. if you go the BL you have to do the seams anyway but not the entire guard and firewall.

here is a 50mm spring lift and a stretched tight brake line.

[Scrawny]

I have never had a problem with tight brake lines Maybe they aren't factory ones?? I run the Commo/Hilux shock setup with extended bumpstops in the front and there is still plenty of slack in the line at full extension of the shock.

[Scrawny]

In answer to the original q, do both body and suspension lifts. Extend bumpstops and run long shocks to get the most out of the springs. I did body lift first then suspension but it doesn't really matter which way you do it.

Nice cleanup

that is HD OME springs with commo shocks. i was surprised just how tight they got.

[Brocbeau]

whats a good shock to suit a 3 inch suspension lift.
i had a few takeds hiace and commadore,
any thing else?
shep how many inches was your lift o your SWB(in that pic)

[shep]

thats dave the dodgy kiwi's car it has a just crusing body lift and HD OME 40mm springs
with vs wagon rear shocks on the front and has 30" MTR's

mine has about 4.5 inch spring lift and i have KYB "S" pack vs wagon rear shocks on the front.
the S pack are apparently a bit longer then the normal wagon and i get a lot of droop out of the
shocks and only need 25mm bumpstop ext. my diff has been moved around 45mm forward as well.

[Brocbeau]

:O
im a dodgy kiwi as well
Pmsl.
hopfully he can help a brother out
show me they strings and how to get away with it,
whats his ausszookas name? "DAVE"?
so you say the wagons shocks in the front are they way to go, do they just slip straight in with out cuttin and welding?

:lol: :rofl:

[just_cruizin]

Why would people suggest something that odd ball if it took a lot of work to do it??

Just whack some mog diffs and a 350 chev in. It'll be a hell of a lot of work but geez it'll be good.

The shocks go straight in.

[Brocbeau]

Soo uhmm,
they go straight in??

[just_cruizin]

Yes, straight in

[Brocbeau]

i was looking at my steering column today, and was unsure wether my Sj413 is able for a body lift?
i didnt notice it before but the crossmembers mounts are one peice with the hub?

"S" pack are shorter, I think you might find that they are "Country" pack instead

[Brocbeau]

the uhmmm,
insidee of the wheel, ill take a pic, needa find my uplaod cord,
uhmm its connected to the inside of the wheel, i forget the name,

[Scrawny]

None of that is effected with a body lift. The body lift simply lifts the body off the chassis with a series of blocks

[Brocbeau]

extended shackles??

[steak_knife]

F*#k that knuckle look's rusty, what's the rest of the car like??

You don't need them yet.

Do your spring lift and body lift ( if you have to) and worry about shackles later.

[Brocbeau]

thats the ones

mate ditch your sway bar and give ya car a good clean and then fish oil it.
but seriously just drive ya car for a bit and get yourself a workshop manual
and learn how it works then you will get an idea of what you want to do with it.

[Brocbeau]

Fish oil
paint i guess?

[shep]

fish oil kills rust protects metal and is easy to put on.
