Who wants to earn quick coin?

Post by jimbot »

Hi
I have a zook sierra with a 3" bodylift. I need it back down to a 2" and I dont have the tools or know how on doing this. I will supply the kit if some one wants to earn some quick weekend cash. I am located in North Brisbane. PM me for more details or how much you would do it for

regular jack does fine with a rubber block. Why not go to a local mechanic, I asked if i could borrow two for a weekend, bought him a case of beer!

Two is worth it if you can get em, just take it slow, and if the body stops moving, stop everything, walk around the car, check brake lines, cables etc. Takes 3 hrs tops. Easy as piss.

jimbo i'm tempted as a flight would only cost a few hundred. less than paying some one haha

as for borrowing the 2 jacks sounds like a good idea

any one have two jacks to spare and wants a case of beer of their choice???

mate it cost me 350 to get my kit installed at a 4wd shop and i was there watching them do it, after 2 of them spent 3 hours doing it i realized how easy it was, just a bit time consuming, just give it a go yourself its not that hard, and it will be a good learning how to do it as you go mate, only problem i had was that 1 of the main bolts snapped so thay had to weld a new one on.

All you need is two car scissor jacks, you already have one in the zook, grab another out of a mates commondore or whatever. Then just shove em in the wheel wells and use the tyre to jack off. Note this is not the best way of doing it and is propably a little haphazard, but when like me you have no jacks...

Good idea to put some anti-seize compound on body lift bocks and bolt.
If you got none at least use some grease

fool_injected,

off the subject sorry all,

I always thought it was non illegitimi carborumdum, many say illegitmi first, but my belief was the other way around.

I do so like "nemo me impune lasessit".

Thats on my right arm in runes.

As none have latin as a first language its a mute point, but direct mean barsted dont grind, other way is don't let the barsted grind you down.
If it breaks, excellent, time for an upgrade

I fitted one of those ebay 50mm kits to my sierra the other day. After hearing i'd need 2 people and 2 jacks I managed to pull it off with one trolley jack by myself in a couple of hours. I had to provide a raised platform to sit my jack on (strong box with planks on top) but it was plenty easy. I would imagine it would nearly be easier going from 3" down to 2" than from factory up to 2" but I could be wrong!

nemo me impune lasessit, I like it :armsup:
Illegitimi non carborundum is actually mock latin, so anyway is correct I suppose ;)
I like its meaning and origin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegitimi_non_carborundum
Just stumbled across it one night

what 2" body lift kit did you buy ??
going from a 3" down to a 2" sounds easy but what have they cut to make the 3" fit. are your body blocks still in place??
its easy enough to say grab 2 jacks and go for it, id have no problems saying that but do you have replacement bolts if they have just cut them off?
worth thinking about

Something to consider is the way that the 3" lift blocks have been installed. Sometimes the body mount studs are modified or shotened, as there are many different ways to body lift a vehicle. Just make sure that your studs are still compatable with the new kit you purchase.
