Driveline lift help/info
Posted: Fri Jun 18, 2010 9:39 pm
Hey
Looking into lifting the Tcase up so that I can get a flat belly in my lux.
At the moment I'm using snakes 40mm engine lift and a custom xmember, but I still have about 70mm hanging down under the chassis rails.
I realise that I'd have to cut out the tunnel to lift it that high.
Now how do ppl deal with the engine mounts? Do you have to cut em off n weld in taller ones? If so ill remove the snake engine lift.
Also does it create other problems lifting engine that much? Hitting on bonnet, radiator hoses, cooling problems with the fan not aligning with radiator?
Or...
Can I just lift up the Tcase? It would put a lot of stress on the end mounts/studs and would it create a problem with the driveline leaning down at the front?
ANY info or help would be appreciated.
Pics pics pics... Post up please!
Cheers Justin
