MK Triton Body Lift

Post by mk_mike »

Can anyone tell me how many bushes are needed for this lift? Its a 2001 MK Triton Dual cab 4x4 V6 Manual.

A lot of sites suggest 12 but after crawling around under the car i come up with at least 14.

And what happens with the 4 flat spacers between the tub and the chassis rail over the rear wheels? should they be bushed as well or no?

Anyone who's performed a body lift on this model i would really appreciate some advice and maybe a quick run through. I want to do it myself for the satisfaction but i'm sometimes "mechanically challenged"

Cheers, Mike.

no bushes required for a body lift buddy, just your blocks and bolts....

let the company your buying the body lift from know what vehicle its for and theyll let you know how many you need.




i have a triton ute MK and i needed 8 blocks in total for my 2inch body lift.

Sorry, we don't have many Triton members here, and I think those we do have don't drop in all that often

Have you tried http://www.newtriton.net ?

Thanks man. I appreciate the info. I've ordered 14 blocks which should be here Tuesday. Then I just gotta get some bolts from Bunnings and I'll tackle it next weekend.

Evening!

I think your Triton is our L200, which means you'll need 14 Blocks & longer bolts. With a 3" lift you'll need new brake lines etc etc You'll need to extend the fuel filler neck, radiator shroud will need adjusted & some of the radiator hoses need lengthening!

I lifted the tub in exactly the same way I lifted the body!
