BodyLifts for Middy,who makes one???

Post by **Rvl** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 9:13 pm

Is anyone making 1.5 or 2 inch body lifts for a HZJ73?
Did a search and can't find anyone who makes a kit.

Thanks

Hi Rob and Bluey .Rob sorry if my email was a bit garbled ,I was punching it off while getting ready for work.You can try these but Im sure others would know of more.
Some shops dont list a 73/74 series and use the 75/60 series springs as I explained.Send them a email for a quote explaining you want a whole kit

Go to a local plastic place and have blocks made up, then to the fastenings shop.

from what i have been told by Qld Department Of Transport is that only steel or alloy body lift blocks are legal on the road.... not nylon

Thanks roscofj73 and guys.
I talked to Glen Dobinson at Dobinson Springs and he is putting together a set for me.
And I talked to Roger Brown in the USA and he will make me a 1.5inch bodylift and machine some poly body mounts for me.

Now I am trying to figure out whether the BJ70 and HZJ73 use the same body mounts and bolt lengths.

PS This is what I was working on today. Modifying a FJ80 roof carrier to fit on a my FRP top middy.

Anytime Rob just ask :lol:

. I was curious as to why you couldnt source anything in Japan. I would have thought they would have Landcruiser accessory shops on every corner!!

Post by **Rvl** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 11:51 pm

The Japanese shops sell the 4 inch body lift kits.
Price is over $1000AU and then they charge you another $1500 to install it. Very nice looking anodized aluminum blocks in pink , purple and blue.
Most of the lift kits in Japan are hard with very little flex.

I did a search last night and I see what you mean.I ve seen those aluminium blocks and shackles on imports and they look very suspect :cry:

. You have to be remove them before they will lic them here.
The springs that are hard and inflexible often come from India ect and snap leaves when the going gets tough.
You made the right choice avoiding them. :armsup:
