2.8 hilux x-cb bodylift

Post by johnboy »

Does anyone know how many blocks are required? (its dark and cold outside so thats why I'm asking and not looking)
Also i have a solid steering shaft not the telescopic type so will i have to buy one of those doodads that snake racing sell or can i use the telescopic one out of the next series??

Cheers John

6 mounts for the cab.
4 of them you can use 75mm OD blocks, front 2 you dont have as much room and will probably need 50mm OD.

There are 8 mounts under the tray.

You can get away with the 75mm ones on the front for space(mine has them) though they wont be any better than 50mm ones because of the mount size.

It is going veerrryyy slowly :)
At the moment I am working on fitting the turbo, building a new tray + bar work and modying and lifting my long range tank.
I havnt even started the actual SAS yet :)
But it will get there eventually.

With my steering shaft I just undid the bolt on the spline section down at the box and it moved like a mm or 2 and did it back up.
I only have 40mm body lift though.
I do have a slight problem where the steering shaft goes though the fire wall it has a rubber seal around the shaft, because of the extra angle from the body lift it has chewed out that seal.
