Outer Limits 4x4 Board

extended shackles don't give better flex any way.
Taking the load leafs out on standard springs is a bad idea too can cause axle rap.
i say get a 2inch suspension lift 2inch body lift, 31's and being twin locked already, that should make it really capable.

look behinf the grill for rust, under the sill covers, under the cover on the floor and in the rubber around the doors. i wouldnt like driving a sierra that long and im 18 and keen to drive, there just to bouncy and uncomfortable. few things i missed on my car where, raditor was blocked and full of ...

Well grimbo it’s actually the 96 sierra is a wreck that has no running gear except the rear axel (with a straight chassis and no rust in the body). Also if most 4wd parks don’t allow unregistered vehicles how do ppl with vehicles that can’t be registered get in e.g. comp cars??? Also with the weigh ...

i have searched he bible
my mate wants to fit a 2inch body lift to his 2001 duel cab hilux.
was wondering what will need to be extended and removed.
thanks guys

i got a eBay 50mm lift. I got mine brand new for 400 with everything but he was asking 700 if i was to do it again i would just buy the set of eBay which doesn't co me with shocks, its around 400 or so. Then head to super cheap nd buy the hilux and commodore shocks. I also took out my load leaf for ...

i was only going to go a 2inch body lift, but i already have a 2inch body lift. am i reading this right or did you make a typo? (ie you already have a 2" suspension lift?) yes i have a 2inch suspension lift but i want to fit 31s and i was reading about the lifts in the bible from steve and he said ...

- extended brake lines (just below the master cylinder where the lines run) are you making your own body lift? Cause there are some good kits available that come with everything you'll need iv got brake lines off a barina so thats no worries. and the only body lifts i found are around $250 and the ...

whats the difference between the straight through bolts and captive studs. cheers Correct me if I am wrong; At the very front and back you have just got normal bolts and nuts. The 6 Captive studs are actually part of the body and will need a bolt made up with a thread actually inside the bolt ...

nicbeer wrote:$200 is stil going rate for full 2" BL kit.


Why bother making your own.

Zook_isaac - correct

because im on a 1st year electrical wage and i havent worked for 3months
so any cheap mods help
this saves me around $100

Might also want to check the fan doesnt foul on radiator. also you may need to do some snipping around the tub near the gear sticks. and all bar work attached to chassis will look wierd and need raising 2 inches. also as you lift it you may want to get someone to gently adjust the metal brake lines ...

Hey guys my brothers looking at buying a 2inch body lift for his 1991 Hilux single cab style side. was wondering if theres much you need to change before you put it in and after you put it in. i herd with some cars you need to change the transfer tunnel to suit? and wondering if it effects your ...

whats the difference between the straight through bolts and captive studs.
cheers

does anyone no if you could get one out of a swift everything else seems to fit fine
if it does you could probably pick one up from the wreckers.

anyone know???

[quote="nicbeer"]What size tyres have are u going to use? if u looking at 31 or under then go for simple and it works. ARB OME 2" (40mm) lift kit and 2" bodylift.[/quote That's what i would personally go for and then save your money for lockers than theres not much need for flex. if your thinking of ...

It depends on what you want to do with your car. A 5 inch lift on a otherwise standard sierra is huge. What do you want such a big lift for? A 2inch suspension lift is fine for travel and then a 2inch body lift depending on what tyres you want to run, and remember that when you change one thing ...

as Gwagensteve said you really only want a lift to fit your tyres. the higher a sierra is the more unstable. sierras really dont need to be that high either because of how short there wheel base is and 32s will give you good diffclearence. with 32' airleakers and some gearing your sierra will be ...

my fault as you aid i worded it poorly

thanks any way guys
got the info i needed

thanks mate
i herd that after a while driving on the highway it stuffs up your gearing

would you recommend a welded diff or a mini spool

is it true that they stuff up your gearing
cheers

ok makes sence thanks guys

hey guys i just bought my a 2inch lift for my sierra asking 800 on ebay and got it for 400, it included front and rear leafs 4 shocks and u-bolts. u bolts where to big for both front and rear so i had to use the standard u-bolts :x . will replace i also took a leaf out all round for a bit better ...

oh ok thanks zute it might be a month or so untill i can afford the tires and want to transfer in before the tires so i dont have any hassels what a simex pedes 31inch t was another choice but i herd they dont include tread in measuring so would mean there more like 32'' or 33'' maybe anyone know ...

the GTI is a 1.3 L right
i herd you get around 150hp out of them with an exhaust and extractors with out a turbo.
i would think you would need more power than that

he didn't no the answer he only new what they were.
from what iv seen there just drop shackles
iv seen plenty of trucks with them in the front but the ones iv seen they pin up when on road and unpin for off road for that reason that they turn and twist.

just wonding what horspower the standard 1993 v6 3L has
cheers

hard tops look for secure as well but i have unlocked my doors on my soft top before just to see how easy it would be and it wasnt to hard but you could most probably fit a custome made one up behind the back seats but i like santos's idea you would need to get a water Hmm one and need it to be heat ...

yeah i was thinking of doing the same behind my seats
you can also take the back door trim off and make a fold down piece of metal that could fold down on top of a box which could lock. and then use it as a table when your back door opens
hard to explain
but works just not as secure.

you could do what im going to do which is take my back seat out and get a tool box from bunnings ($60 for a 60 litre tool box) and drill holes in the tool box and use the bolts from the back seat to bolt it down so they carnt take the hole box. and then just paddlock it. but you can get fiberglass ...
