G'Day, evryone, just wondering what is entailed in doing a 2" body lift on my 4 door auto Range Rover, im in the process of doing a 2" spring lift, but was wondering how difficult ect or things to look out for when doing a body lift if it is possible. And if so, what material should be used in doing the lift, or is it better to get an off the shelf kit or something.

Cheers

You will require:
1: 10 spacers 50mm diamx50mm long steel with 11mm hole drilled through.
2: 10 bolts M10 130mm grade 8.8.
3: 50mm extentsions for the seat belt mounts 4 off.
4: 4 brackets at rear wheel will require extending 50mm these bolt onto chassy.
5: 2 spacers to go between chassy and body under driver seat bolt in.
6: bracket to lift rear brake tee or longer hose.
7: relocate front brake line bracket 50m lower pipe can be worked carefully to gain 50mm, or fit longer hoses.
8: may require extension to low range lever (personel choice)
9: relocate radiator down 50mm requires lowering bracket on front panel.
10: engineers cert. :lol:
