I do it myself for 1/10th of that money.

sweet! you should put me a kit together.

buy 10 screws and 10 nuts (140mm long /10mm diameter), 1m long plastic tube (filed), cut tube to 5cm pieces, drill 10mm holes in each pieces and this is it.

here is how to instal that body kit

I did it in 2 hours (from bilding kit to install it on my feroza).

140AUS is aprox 83 EUR. Screws and nuts was 4EUR, plastic was 10EUR (together 14EUR, that is 23AUS).

Hi-Tensile bolts would be heaps more than the $23 you quote for the whole project. What bolts/nuts did you use?

I also think the bushes inside the lift blocks are a nice idea.

I agree on using high tensile bolts - nylock nuts and washers ( all plated for corrosion protection ). In fact I thought it would be a "given".....

As for the inserts - if the plastic bar is the same diameter as the rubber mounts then IMO its more than strong enough without inserts. If your concerned, then substitute aluminum bar for plastic, probably about the same price or a little dearer.

Mines had a couple of years of hard work and no issues whatsoever, and I could have made them as complex as I wanted but there's just no point - the load / mount just doesn't warrant it.

My local plastics and aluminum suppliers are more than happy to cut to length ( with their saws it a few minutes work for the whole lot ) especially if you don't expect it done on the spot.

A jack, a few bits of wood to spread the load when you jack up the body, and the right size spanners are about all thats required.

Just remember to deal with radiator shrouds, hoses etc that require minor adjustment, but there's a thread on this elsewhere.

I was told by my engineer that in NSW they would not pass any poly lift blocks even if they had crush tubes.
I had to change all mine to alloy b4 he would sign off on all the stuff i had done.
But it does feel different now a lot stiffer.And it creeps and groans when you flex it up. I prefer the poly and have been thinking about swapin back

Get a can of aluminum spray paint and paint the plastic ones

Plastic are quieter.

X2 on the coated bolts.My original bolts were all rusted 3 of them broke as soon as i put a spanner on them and the rest wernt much better.

On the ENG/CERT doesnt say what material is used.

Anyway im of to bunnings for a can of aluminun spray

If u want to take my body lift out of my Rocky u can have all the parts....it was fitted by 4wd systems in Adelaide but with the suspension lift my rocky is now defected for being 50mm too high...so i need to take the body lift out...

I use high tensile bolts plated with zinc.
Here in Slovenia the price for 100 standard bolts is 15EUR, that is 25AUS, but the price fo 10 high tensile bolts plated with zinc and 10 nuts was 4 EUR.

the big service for feroza here in slovenia is realy cheap
- 5 litres of oil 10W-40
- sparks
- filters (air, gas, oil)
- tensioner
- timing belt
- waterpump
- sensor for temperature
only 148EUR(240AUS)

Here in Greece for the big service at list it costs more than 300 euro

so basically the ebay kit is not a well thought out one.
thanks guys

I think its just a bit expensive for something that you can easily do yourself.

One of the aftermarket 4x4 shops in sydney want $24.00ea for alloy spacers.The other one wants $28.00 for poly + bolts.

Im lucky we use 50mm alloy round bar at work.Got one of the cnc machines to make them while i had lunch
