hey mate i fitted a 2 inch body lift the other day and you are right low range is hard to select if you pull up the floor matting and cut a small piece out of the plate that holds down gearstick boot it will select ok that was the only dramas i had cheers

i have 15mm gear box spaces so i had to cut alot out of the floor behing the low range shifter.. i had a issue with a fuel line longer hose fixed it i undid my steering column as a precaution and that was about it pretty easy took bout 1hr... ohh and check all wiring...

If you search theres even a how to on doing it. step by step..

have a search around. three inch lift will mean you will have to extent the stick, and also all the brake lines/clutch lines between the chassie and the fire wall will have to be extended. there are a number of problems with a three inch lift, and also the two inch lift. These include doors not shutting right, cracked floor pans, and a noticeable thump on the floor...

I have a 3" body lift in a lwb, I heated up the stick and bent it a bit and didn't have to cut the floor. Undo the two bolts on the flex joit on the steering and slid it up & down to even them out.

jeers fellas for all the advise already starting to remind me of the reasons i didn't when i had the old one might just leave it till i lift it properly.
