Guy on ebay sells the kits (everything you need) for $100 for swb mk, $115 for a lwb.
He does kits for GQ's as well.

Make sure the bolts that are supplied with the kit are high tensile. If you plan on getting it approved they have to high tensile and I wouldnt trust the mod using standard bolts, to easily sheared.

You can do it pretty easy yourself, but at the price Ludacris quoted you why would you bother! I would just take it to him and be done with it.

hi guys, now that the subject on lift blocks are being discussed. what material for lift blocks is best to use ( Aluminum, Polyeurathaine, rubber, metal)? I'm planning of ordering a set.

OK I bought a kit and heres the bolts
I think I've been given 3" block bolts instead of 2"
What do u think?

No-one Im pretty sure Im going to have to get shorter bolts as they hang down too far. Someone must be a pro on this?

Dude, read the responses - this has all been covered! Are all the bolts the same length? Pull one of your current bolts out (very quick and easy, and you'll have to do it anyway) and compare it to the new one. For a 2" lift they should be 2" longer, and for a 3"... I'll let you figure that one out.

Yeah Ive read all the bible shit and above is a pic of my original bolt with a new one.

I went to them the other week asking about the 2" lift kit and they said $215 for the kit and it would be about 3 weeks before they could do the car becuase they are real buisy atm..
So the guy said anyways..

I have read it and even the thread about bolt length doesn't say. Have you read it?

Holy shiat!
Were they gold lift bocks?

Rather not say but I will say a well known and reputable 4x4 company around Melbourne.
I also thought that was extremely high for a 2" body lift!
**Gold Plated I think**
Defintely be doing it myself!
