Lowering a LC70

Post by brendo111 »

Im looking at buying a Land Cruiser 70 Cab Chassis Workmate.
I need it mainly for its towing capacity and reliability.
One problem though, it is about 5cm too tall for my garage lol.
How would you guys go about solving this, and what would you expect to pay?
Cheers

You could drop the tire size.. go a tire 10cm smaller , but that'll look crap

I would think a 10cm drop in suspension would just about sit it on the bumpstops, which would not be good.

lol well im not buying it anymore, gonna get a canter fuso 3t instead, slightly more convenient as i wont have to tow a trailer. ideally i was hoping to get the LC to fit in the garage due to expensive gear on the back.
thanks anyway :)
