hilux body lift

Post by 01Luxy »

hey boys and girls!
ive got a 2001 3L lux and im looking at doing a 2" body lift to it.
its already got a 2" suspension lift but i need more room to fit bigger rubber and the better approach/departure angles would be nice also!
just wondering what sort of problems i may come up against regarding the air box and radiator hoses? i know about the brakes, gear stick and steering but looking under the bonnet the air box and radiator both baffle me.
any input would be awesome!!
happy mudding!

the bible will answer your questions, so will searching. as for the air box. it should be fine. if your worried then unbolt it and raise it 2 inches in the engine bay and see if it still works (keep connected to engine the whole time) if it is going to work, then you have just found yourself an answer to your question, if not, then whats the problem, and how do you overcome it? loosen clamps and rotate hose maybe? just look at it, try it, find out and then think about it, its pretty simple.

rad will have a black plastic shroud around the rad fan, remove the lower section of it.
