body lift

Post by MUD000 »

2in BL is easy shoud take about 4 hours hardest part is pulling your AC out f the way to get to the boltsI used 75mm round alloy blocks but be aware the frount ones will need to be smaller as they have to fit inside a mount
I think the front 2 bolts are long as to
drill new holes 2in lower for your radiator i've never had a problem with temp & i tow a 2 tonne trailer all the time to
one of your fuel line brackets needs to be turned upside down to
bend your levers with an oxy just put a wet rag around the top not to melt the handle it may take 2 or 3 goes to get it right
If your got the older style ARB Bar its easy to mod
I originally took out the load spring & pulled the sway bar off made it heeps softer & better to drive
Also put a chip in it makes heaps of differance ( I'll sell them if your interested )
I cut the front gaurds with a 2in BL to fit 35s no problems
Also if you do a bodylift & put a new exhurst in get them to run it between the body & the body mount so you wont rub it with the tyres

DP Chip

Post by MUD000 »

I sell the DP Chip
Gives you about an extra 20 kw with better fuel if you drive the same
I get an 10% on the highway & about the fuel around town but i drive it harder
They are adjustable with 10 differant settings & are reprogramable if you were to change your setup eg intercooler etc
They come with a 30 money back if your not happy with it
:armsup: :armsup:
Ive sold one to koolkat in a 100 series from this website & Captain INSANO is about to buy one for his Prado
I've put them in trucks, 100 series, New & Old Hilux's both the 3ltr turbos,Ford transit van & the new 2.5ltr Nivara & still not one complaint only happy customers :armsup: :armsup: :armsup:
$1320 delivered to your door
Easy to fit by yourself or get an auto electrican to fit should cost about $88 inc GST :)
I put one in mine & was that impressed I became a distributor for them as no one sells them around Albury/Wodonga :armsup: :armsup:
The whole car just seems to run smoother :lol:

I'm guessing you mean a soa if so it would be very high with the narrow diffs You could change your front spring mounts to 80 series ones than your coil choice is endless
Ive only got 4in 80 coils in the front of mine
