adjusting rear bumper for 2inch block lift?!?

[lachlan.anderson]

hey guys, have a swb vitara. have just been doing some modifications to it, one of the mods was a 2 inch block lift. now i cant fit the rear bumper back on it.. any wuick and easy solution to my problem?

I've done the same, but my bumper fits on as is. Its in the same position, attached to the chassis, the top of the bumper just slopes up. The good thing about this is it allows you to chuck a 31 inch spare on. (assuming thats why you did the body lift).

Make up some flat plates to suit? Normally applies to the front which is easier.

Edit. Didnt read that it was a vit.

yeah thanks guys, managed to muck around abit to make it fit... reason for the blockl lift was to fit thirty two's under the old girl... took to the rear guard with a jig saw and got a real neat job. just have to re adjust the front bull bar now
thanks for the help fellers

wow 32's thats going to out huge amounts of strain on the cv's. i hope u like changing them, alone with other things.

Good luck crawling... or driving on sand! (assuming gearing has remained standard)

Yeah, some pics would be super!

will upload some photos on the weekend, just changed the cv joints, looking at a stronger set though, also getting a new transfer case with reduction gearing to cope with the bigger tyres, but its an on going thing im working on. i was pretty impressed what the car would do stocko's, just the clearance and traction issue thats all... once the new gearing is in, you guys will have to come out, a mate has been bugging me to head out to clarence near lithgo to go fourbying!!!!
