drive train lift

[macktuff]

hey all

was looking under my hilux lookin at eransfer and gearbox hanging down below the chassis rails

Was wondering if anyone in australia has done an engine, gearbox and transfer case lift in a hilux or any other make? With an engineers certificate/

got idea when had a look at american sites few guys over there have done it any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated

think Bubs does a clocking plate so u can clock the transfer over to gain height?

someone will correct me before long

I have done heaps of engine and gearbox lifts in GQ's. When I had the mod plate done on the last one the engineer said "it is not ileagal and does not need a plate". Remember state to state laws are different and it would depend how you lift it.

My lifts are bolt in and require no chassis or cross member mods.

I take it you allready have a body lift?
My old Lux had a 40mm body lift and drivetrain lift.
I did it with engine mount spacers from Snake racing and a custom transfer case crossmember I made myself.
I gained about 3 1/2 inches more clearance under the transfer all up as the transfer crossmember was made out of 10mm flat bar instead of the poxy pressed up tin of standard.
I think Bubs sells the high clearance crossmembers and I think they can be ordered with drivetrain lift built in.
