I am in the same bout about to do a 50mm body lift too my shortie.

Are the rear two bolts with captive nuts the only ones that are going to need drilling ? I have no access to a oxy or other heating device. How much of a drama is this going to cause for me... Are these the only two bolts that are going to cause probs ?

Also there a dude in the Tojo section who has done a 80 series BL step by step guide w/ photos. He lifted one side at a time with his Hi Lift and a bit of wood on the sills. (Obviously the bolts on the other side were on but loose) Is this going to cause too many dramas if I do it this way ?

I know it is a relatively simple process but if I ballz something up, the car is a daily driver, so I basically can't shag anything up.

yes.

I didnt heat mine, hit them with a cold chisel, they moved... all are different though. Everyother bolt is just nut and bolt, piss easy.

nope.


Always have a spare car there for a quick run to the shop if need be for different sized bolts.
