Outer Limits 4x4 Board

going to body lift my lwb gq its an auto does lifting affect shifting and when i got 50mm blocks do i leave in std blocks if so do i put blocks ontop or underneath cheers

yes you will need to cut a bit of the floor so you can shift into 4x4.
take the old mounts out and fit the new ones.
if you raised it by 25-30mm you may not need to cut any thing out to go into 4x4

No no, you need to put the new 50mm block on top of the old rubber mounts! Or else you will be finding cracks in your floor.

yea new blocks ontop of old ones and bolts up from the bottom under the seat belt saves pulling it off. 50mm you do have to cut or as i did drill nd chisel a chunk out of the floor behind the 4wd lever or you will not get low 4wd, also found with mine u gta give the auto shifter a bit of a wiggle now nd then to get it to start as the nutural switch dosent line up rite sumtimes. And dont forget to fix up your steering input either.

bs with cutting you dont have to, you will find its just the boot holding the stick out of 4L, unbolt the rubber boot, move it into 4l, then tec screw it back in... Done

What i did my 2" body lift in the mav it wasn't just the rubber boot stopping it, the shifter was hitting the floor itself stopping the transfer from going into 4L as well as stopping the manual from going into 2nd, 4tha nd reverse

Well from MY experience as a tradesmen mechanic with over 10 years experience, on my 89 gq patrol fitting a superiour 50mm body lift you do need to mod the floor and the bracket for the rubber boot not just the rubber as it will not select low 4 and in my opinion not doing so could risk damge to the transfer through jumping out at an unwanted time this is only my experience on my patrol.

just a thought did the shifter surround change between series 1 and series 2 gq's, as the 3 that i have done worked that way

raise the motor and box 2". Only a short sighted person would cut the floor.

And increase the drive shaft angles buy another 2inches without gaining any extra flex. yea woo

Can gain flex by clearing the cross members, or you could cut the chassis and cross member up, cut holes in the floor, cut the rad shroud, bend leavers ect.

Alot more benefeits to an engine lift than not having one, but as a tradesman mechanic I'm sure you know all abot that. I'm sure you have tried both to see the difference too.

Also how do you get the old body bolt out past the seatbeat without removing the seat belt? How do you tighten the bolt with the seat belt right above it? Please educate the stupid people on this forum (or just me) from your extensive experiance in 10 years of parts changing.

im gessing its just you ,being there are alot of bright people on here dont drag them down with you. The bolt will come out past it with just the plastic cover off and u can get a bar with socket on it underneath it if u use the rite tools for the job.

And you seem to be wanting to complicate a simple thing like a 50mm body lift u can do in yur shed in a few hours into a major job.

I think maybe you should get some of your own experience up yur sleeve before u go ranting again

Toolmaker/fitter machinist??? explains all.
