Outer Limits 4x4 Board

What type of spacers are best for body lift?

I made mine out of Ultra High Density Polyethelyne, so I can't use any of the choices you have there.

Its a white, ultra hard plastic that doesnt adsorb water etc, wont rub to create rust Ie: aluminium on steel etc.

I got 1 meter of it in the correct size for $35

Same stuff the body lift blocks from some of the companies are made of.

Anything that isnt solid is banned in queensland and in fact the neoprene and hard plastics are banned now too!

best bet is to get some made out of mild steel, or do them yourself it would only be $10 or $15 each! and you need a small spacer, say 15mm for your steering column! the rest will be EASY (need to re-work shifter boots)

2" body lift is the best! but i think the legal limit was 50mm and has been revised down to 40mm :(

DO IT

Go steel body lifts, ALL the way, yea show em what steel can do

does anyone have a definite answer to what bj said about the 50mm limit being revised to 40???????

i wanna go 50 on the vitara, but if thats the new laws................well i'd probably do it anyway

Say No To bodylifts (/) !!

my body lift isnt solid and is Queensland transport approved, i think it all depends who you get to approve it.

thanks fellows anyone else

i have steel in mine have no complaints

I know of a few people who have used the solid steel, to find it has torn the body work. This of course happened of years and many 4b trips. Haven't heard such a thing with the plastic. Perhaps the plastic absorbs a little vibration

I was told it did, hence why I chose it.

i used ally solid bar but it is soo expensive unless you can get your hands on some cheap. It really matters on the inspector with qld transport. I got mine inspected and the fella went over it pretty thourougly and i had to pay $30. My mate said his inspector barely looked at anything and he didn't have to pay a cent. When you do a lift in qld you are supposed to get prior approval by sending in a vehiccle modification aplication form so they will let you know then weather 50mm is too much.

My body blocks are made from some sort of hard black plastic. Dunno what exactly, they were in there when I bought the car.

I've done a couple in ally and they worked fine but the one i did with polly ended up crushing. I would go the ally it's light and it only costs me about $6 per 50mm block.
