For those of you who have put a 2" body lift in, is a steering shaft spacer needed? And if so where would I find one for my sv420 swb bit? |

I've body lifted a few Vitaras and a heap of sierras. Never needed one. |

Body lift clears tyres and keeps all the weight of chassis alot lower than a susp lift. But bodys can walk on the mounts in extreme cases Can u not just double up on the steering biscuit |

A BL is just a tool to fit bigger tyres. For example, it's quite difficult (but not impossible) to fit 35's on a low sierra without a body lift. For cars with tight guards that are difficult to cut, like a LWB Vitara, a BL can be very useful. Mr Rocky's comments are spot on. |

Just extend the steering shaft? Take it out, and tap it to lengthen it a little. They are collapsible for crash purposes, there is enough length to safely extend it a tiny bit for a BL. |

Cheers for the replies, hopefully all goes well without one. |

I didn't really need one for 2" body lift, there was enough in the spline. I fitted some from bits4vits when we went to the 3" body lift. |
