3" Bodylift

Post by MD4x4 »

Hey Guys,

I'm looking at doing a 3" Bodylift but don't want to cut the floor.

Has anyone welded a 3" extension into their gear stick and transfer case levers.

Whats the best way to do it.

Regards

Its a shorty and the winch bar and rear bar I have has already been modified to 65mm lift blocks.

Too much mucking around with getting these re-cut and welded.

Looking at a 3" Body Lift and 3" Spring Lift.

I rebent mine with the oxy in a vice.... get a bucket of water and get ready to quench it quickly. (gear stick)

I have seen gear stick extensions but cant remember where..

for the 4wd\2wd cut the slot longer and be done with it..

It has to be engineered in nsw $$$$

My advice is don't do it as it is only a matter of time until the cab cracks around the mounts and probably even tears out (particularly radiator support panel) .
