im doing a body lift and also thinking 2" shacle would i need to change anything if i do both

ps i have thermal fans so dont have fan shroud etc lol

off the top of my head you should be fine, just take things slow with the body lift. neither of those things will have anything to do with your fan of the shroud.
Im not sure what you are running but a thermal fan in most cases will not give you the same cooling as a normal fan.

i have twin thermals one sucks one blows seems to work ok
my ole man and bro both had this car b4 me
ny bro used to bit of travelling in wa with it so seems ok
thanks for youyr input

Where are you? I think Queensland doesn't permit shackle lifts, but other states could be OK.

With most vehicles, the radiator is mounted to the body, but the engine driven fan is mounted (surprisingly enough) to the engine. When you do a body lift, the radiator (+shroud) lifts but the fan doesn't - which is why his mention of thermal fans (by which I presume he means electric) is relevant.

When I did my body lift I simply removed the bottom section of the shroud - it unclipped without requiring tools. I've never had overheating problems, even when under-bonnet got hot enough to cause my dual battery system to shut down. The only time the gauge has moved above normal was when I split a radiator hose - as a result of the body lift.

im in victoria
yeah i got the 4wd with twin thermos
i have picked up a complete set of lifting block+bolts for $80
been in vehicle for three days only lol
guy wanted more body lift
they build racing 4wds
so i thought if not to much to do as im a welder will make some shakles for 2"lift also
wat size tyres could you get under mg swb with a 2 + 2

my hilux has that, a 2" body and a 2" shackle lift and I have no probs what so ever, i also have twin VN thermo's on it. What scott said is sport on as well, remove the shroud as I didnt and I craccked it on my altenator. As for tyres I would say 35's but they will rub when you full lock it.

cool im lucky i dont have a shroud at all lol
doing 2"+2" 35 will rub at full lock?
wat lift will i need to clear it so they dont

Mate lift aint everything and the hole is only so big. Some where your going to need to do some trimming.
As for finding out if a 35 will fit. Have abit of a seach of the nissan section. I am sure there will be a post in there on how to get 35's on MK/MQ.
Also tyres dont just rub on panels. They would be getting close to the spring as well.

i ran 35s on my mk swb with 2 inch body lift and cut guards never had an issue with rubbing at all kept it nice and low

cool cheers guys
i was mainly doin body lift as i can pick up the blocks complete cheap
im not 100% sure if i will get 35's anyways mainly curious
just so if i come across some after the lift etc
i can grab em if they gonna fit

2" longer shakles will only give 1" more lift remember...
