33's hitting on 84 Hilux

[Sam T]

Lots of questions.

Dad's 1984 hilux has 33's with 2" body lift and 2" suspension lift. We picked it up with the bobcat and only got to 300mm above the ground at full lock before it hit the inner guard. I posted a few months ago (didn't have pictures) and was told that we should move the diff forward. How far should it be moved? We would like to use relocation plates.

So far I think we will need:
Relocation plates
Extended brake lines
Shortened drag link (dropped?)
Adjustable torque bar
Driveshaft spacer

Where would be the best place/s to get this gear? superior engineering, snake racing?

We would like to do as little panel beating as possible and remain legal.
Does anyone know the max lift height in Tas?

The hilux has a blown head gasket and has been sitting outside for a while (cobwebs). We will be doing a conversion to a 3rz, so if the axle is moved forward it has to be able to miss the sump.

Thanks for any help

300mm off the ground



Few mm off hitting





Some measurements on the stops.

i have a 92 model with 35 with only 2 inch body the only place it hit is the front plastic guard

Flog the crap out of the inner guard with a FBH where the raised bit is. Mine clears wth only 2 inch body and sagged springs, front are flat/almost inverted on 33's. Still rub a little bit but not enough to worry about.

We can dent in the guard but i still dont think it will be enough. How far would you knock it in?

[SIMMO84]

Mainly just fold over the section where the panels are joined. Ill try to get a pic of mine.
EDIT; got a pic

Best pic I could getbut you get the idea. Plastic inner guard has been removed.

recently i picked up a 84 ln65 has 2" body and 2" springs when i was stuffing around with the car i noticed that the drivers side tire is half inch of the guard and a few on the passengers side. i also noticed that the body is closer to the tray on the passengers side then on the drivers.


conclusion:
im guessing the fukn goose that did the body lift didnt bother checking to see if everything was lined up and sitting straight on the chassis. some people just shouldnt touch nothin

just loosen the bolts and push the body back a little
hope tat helps
