Boring question that has been done to death I know but I promised my mate I'd ask. He wants to do the basic 2 inch bodylift. I couldn't be 100% when I said there would be no dramas cause I cant remember reading anything about this model of cruiser being lifted. So has anyone got any first-hand experience with lifting this line of cruiser. I dont imagine there would be any difference between lifting this and a ute, troopy etc. I explained like with the hiluxs the spring like part of the break line would tighten up and he might need a longer steering shaft is there anything else specific to this vehicle I should tell him about.
Thanks
John

I lifted a 60, and can't think of any differences between the two. Usual stuff. Watch all the lines, the steering shaft should be long enough... slip the splines down, or it might have a slip joint doova thingy in it like myne. I did 3". It should cost you about $40 - $60 all up. Tops. And maybe a couple of dollars (like about $2) for scrap metal for brackets to drop the radiator. Have fun

They really are the easiest car in the world to lift.

Thanks fellahs
Didn't think there'd be any more problems than any other 4b but I didn't want him to go on my word and get up me when he screws something up.
