bodylift

[The unit1]

about to do a body lift on 2000 hilux extra cab, just 2inch high. just wondering if there is anything i have to loosen or look out for apart from the obvious things. thanks

There is the fuel filler (not too sure on the extra cabs)
Steering rod loosen at the uni inside cab and/or at the box
Prob your radiator hoses Plus remove lower half of fan shroud
4wd and gearbox stick may have to be bent slightly
Watch steel lines just under the brake master cyl where they spiral they should just spread a little..
Watch induction hose air cleaner- manifold may stretch
If manual check clutch slave cyl hose may stretch

then adjust bullbar/bumper if needed

If i have forgotten anthing else i sure some1 on here will pick up on it

steering, I would loosen both ends and then after lift check if the shaft is long enough, some are some aren`t.

wires, check they aren`t to tight

little stick should be ok, gear stick normaly needs attending to

fuel lines, as they go from chassi mounted to body mounted then back to chassi mounted

handbrake cable, normaly needs one clip undoing, well thats all it needed on mine.

acclerator cable, maybe? I don`t know as mine has electric speedo so its just a wire

ummm thats all can think of for now that hasn`t been meantioned above.

just keep checkin on things in the engine bay and under the car while your doing it and just look for anything tight that mite need releasing and just keep checking move the body up thats bout it
