If its cheaper than DOTMAR go for it...dont forget to include frieght as those ones come from Aussie.

You can get 33s on a standard surf, just gotta watch your seems.

Cheers Daniel

good point about aussie!

[Smurf]

If you are going to buy a pre made kit, I'd look at this one, it is supplied with blocks and bolts ready to go. But it is still cheaper to make the blocks yourself.

thanks mate but already got the bolts so just need the blocks

[Sausage]

hello again

have found some blocks but the 50mm have heard that 60mm better, is there any major difference? prices are $90 for 50mm $120 for 60mm. thanks for your thoughts

[bigstu]

Hi both the bodylifts ive done i just went to supply services? in sockburn? they have all the different stength nylons i get the 60mm stuff spreads the weight better cost just over $50 for enough to make 10 50mm blocks then you just cut to length with a cutoff saw or bandsaw hack saw etc drill holes best in a lathe but drill press will do, then the bolts are under $30 from blacks with nylok nuts the guys are prety good on blenheim rd if you have cash prety cheap all for around $80 plus an hour of time making them up, let me know how you get on with the body lift ive just brought a kzn130 after having two 60 series surfs the older ones are easy to lift interested to find whats involved with the 130s.
hope this is of help
Thanks Stu

hey mate thanks, i have the bolts so just needing the blocks but have nothing to cut and drill them with so would like to find someone that can cut/drill for me does supply services do this if i ask nicely? . from what i hear and read about the lift its not to bad just a few key bits to keep an eye on.

[bigstu]

been a couple years since i was there last but i think they make nylon cogs etc there? so they could prob make them the way you want
Thanks Stu
