righto, the bodylift arrived this morning and i'm gonnna put it in this weekend, but i'm wondering if anyone who's done the 2in lift before can give me some pointers about what to watch out for, and what'll have to be relocated, chopped etc.

It is strait forward just watch the fuel filler hose, the brake lines where they attach to the chassis at the front drivers side and the joint onto the steering box.

while you've got the body hoisted up, you might as well cut off all the IFS bits

DON"T do it. Body lifts on Zooks SUCK. (now I have started a war)
The body will fall apart do the SAS and you won't need the body lift.The money you save on not having to keep repairing the body and mounts will pay for the SAS.

you better start running sam, you've pissed off a lot of people now
anyway, i'd love to do the sas, have the money for the installation side of it, but not for the suzana axle
, and i haven't been able to come across anything else remotely close that might work

As much as I hate to say it maybe a pair of lux axles with flipped rims to get the width might be the go.

you won't loose too much time in the workshop if you plan it right

The only drama with the lux axles are that they are shorter than the VIT rear.

can you do another suzana axle for the price you told me?
just that by the time i get two lux diffs, fitting costs, r&p's for them both, steering etc. its probably easier and neater to just save and get the suzana
