2" Blocks To Fit Hilux

[firestonecruiser]

seen this done when i was on a safari in thailand. just about every lux on the trip had this done. speaking to a few people it was there understanding that in nz you would not get wof or cert.

weve just put blocks under the back of the brother n laws truck to level out with the front and have full intention of getting certed,why would they not pass a cert?plenty of trucks lowered with these and still legal

in terms of the front end of a hilux youd also need to lengthen torque rod and possiby mod steering arms slightly but unsure as ive never looked at or seen it done to a front end

I did this on the back of my hilux when I first got it to raise it up, I wound up the Torsions in the front. It was a good quick cheap fix, but long term if your doiong this to get height then I would get some raised springs......chur

i would not do this in the front, steering torque rod will hit shit, look at front suspension and youll see what i mean

as long as you make the blocks properly there wont be any brake shuddering
you just have to make sure that you have a dowel in the bottom of the block to align it to the spring perch and a hole in the top of the block to align the spring to the block
something like this...

llllllllll llllllllllll
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
llllll

but then as vinceparts says its be a bitch to miss steering components

I wouldnt recoment using these to lift a truck, in a lowered ute the weight on the block is only how much the u bolts have been tighted, on a 4wd it will have the weight of the vehicle aswell, wouldnt take long to fail
