Doing my first body lift....

Post by Boopa »

...is there any reason why I would need another set of hands...besides for handing me beers.

ie...should I be cool doing this flying solo?

Cheers

Yes.

Maybe to hold a spanner on the other side of the body mount if they are hard to remove.

Rears are locktited in. Easier to just heat up from top with a blue flame and undo hot.

ok guys...the deed is done and it was all too easy :cool:
ended up taking about 5 hours one my own, with my young bloke
passing me the spanners.

rears came out fine too....dude I bought the kit from had bolts long enough to drill out the rear thread and and drop right through.

Only hassle was getting to the front bolts behind the grill...talk about a
pain in the ass! :lol:

Thanks for the tips lads...next coils and shocks :cool:

the main advantage of a body lift is to give you the needed clearance to fit larger tyres on your truck and they are dirt cheep to do and easy to fit :) definatley worth doing

two inches lift for 125 bucks and a few hours of your time ...additional to this I'm going to do a 3 inch spring lift. Therefore 5" more than factory of effective body clearance without needing panhards, crazy caster etc....a no brainer really! :cool:
