Body lift...

Post by wagonsnz »

I would like to raise my surf, can anybody give me an idea of who does this in or around CHCH and around how much it will cost? Ballpark? Don't have time to do it myself.

Cheers

do you want to raise it up or are you wanting a "bodylift" to clear bigger tyres ie 33's? either way with a bit of prep like crcing the nuts a few days in the week come a weekend its only a couple of hours and its all done so long as you have all the bits ready a waiting. id recomended if you can do it yourself saves you a bit of $$ but get some hints and tips from searching the web to do if safely :wink:

Sorry my bad, I'm wanting to raise it for better clearance, not a body lift
