A mate wants me to bodylift his Dual Cab Navara for him (I've only ever bodylifted 4Runners and Hilux's) So I was just checking if anyone has done this before and if there is anything tricky that needs to be modified besides the common sense stuff?

If you know the bolt lengths that'd also save some time too!!

Thanks

Well we finished the lift late yesterday arve.

Overall the lift was easier than most truck's I've done.

Steering shaft was fine. Just loosened the spline when lifting.

There is a little peice in the radiator shroud that can be removed to allow clearance for the fan, with the rest of the shroud still remaining in place.

Gearsticks needed no mods.

The fuel tank hoses were all fine.

The back four bolts in the cab section have captive nuts, which were a bit hard to find the right bolts for. A set of old original 4Runner botls worked well in the second from the back, we still haven't sorted the very back ones yet. But will hopefully getting some bolts to suit from a tractor shop on monday.

Now some pics...he's hoping to squeeze some 33's under the guards, but it is going to need some trimming for them to fit.

Chase and his truck, with my 15x10's and 33's on. Almost half the tyre was hanging outside the flares. Looked awesome!!

Looks awesome.

Is there much aftermarket gear available for Navara's?

Might look awesome but illegal.
Even if you can get them inside flares they will still be illegal - see the QLD Transport brochure.

Yeah deffinetly, we were only putting them on to see how cool it would look. It was no where near driveable with my tyres and rims on anyway.
