Hi mate,

I've not long fitted a 3" body lift to my UK L200 double cab. My list of mods was the same as yours but when I did it on mine, the fuel filler and top rad hose were fine. I did have to release the pressure on the front ABS sensor wires and I had to extend a flexi pipe the supplies air to the brake servo. The trick is to lift slowly and keep a good eye on things as you go.

Hope this helps.

Here is a pic after the lift with 35" Dyna Pro's fitted.

They sell the twin headlights over here as a Mitsi genuine accessory, but they are stooooopidly expensive. Got mine off Ebay nice and cheap.

I personally wouldn't recommend that susp lift on Ebay, a couple of lads over here have tried them, throws the wheel camber way out, the wheels look like \ / , not sure how to overcome.

Give me a shout if you need some help with your lift. :armsup: :armsup:

Have a look at these

http://www.e-styling.co.uk/scpro/estyli ... 401&page=1

Scroll down the page, you'll see em. They aren't the genuine Mitsi ones but Morette make good stuff and they are quite a bit cheaper. Might be worth asking if they send stuff international.

I have Old Man Emu rear springs, these give about 1.5" of lift and extended rear spring shackles that give another 1.5". Up front I have Ironman torsion bars that I have removed and moved around a couple of splines to give some extra lift. You tend to lose downward travel on the front wheels with the torsion bars cranked right up but it hasn't caused me any problems off road yet.

Hope this helps.
