Outer Limits 4x4 Board

well there is nothing in the zook bible, so i thought i can get us a thread they can link...
im going to start modding the fourby a bit soon
i wanna get a 2" body lift in...
now can you guys tell me, what has to be done...
and what else do i need

ie extended break lines?
or other shit like that....
cheers

if u get one get a removable on as they are very very easy to fit,no threading studs and cutting half the old ones off etc,and its reverseble if u deside its not what u want

This has been covered so many times there should be heaps if you search.

is just one thread that had some good tech in it.

The bracket for brake lines on the inner guard needs to be removed, a new hole drilled, and remounted.

Hose clamps on fuel filler need to be loosened, there is usually enough length to re-use it, but new hose could be wise.

Never remove all body mounts at same time, as body goes floppy and then is hard to remount. Loosen one side, remove other side, fit lift in a bit at a time.

Some rear bars are connected to body and chassis, if so just unbolt.

Most stuff is fixed to chassis only, making Sierras easy to lift.

Just check for anything joined to chassis and body, as you don't always know what previous work has been done.

did mine years ago, thats all I can think of now, but others will pipe up, and so will I if I remember anything else

i got that thread you posted up, and hope it will be put in the bible...
which will be great

I did mine about a year ago. But what i can remember is that i had to mover the front bar up with custom brackets. For the steering shaft i placed an additional rubber spacer for the length. (not necessary but thought it would be better). And ground out the top right hand side of the hole that the transfer case lever is located instead of bending the origional so that low range can be accessed again.

everything will fit ok with a 2" BL. You will need to bend t/case shifter and gearstick or open up the holes a bit so they dont hit. i used a jack on the tyres to lift body up one corner at a time.

Make sure you unclip all wiring before lifting .

i never bent any of my shifters when i did my bodylift and never had any probs when i had the lift in.

on my bros coily we had to enlarge the shifter holes by a cm or two.. grinder worked a treat
i took a bunch of photos for the forum while we worked so i will grab them and try post them somewhere...

Next question.
Lifting a stockman ute: Easier or harder?
There should be less bolts to alter, shouldn't there?

I agree with the advice on getting a reversable kit. I got the type that required the cutting of threads into the body studs and was a farkin prick to do. Someone on here sells them I think?
