just about to put a 2inch lift on my ute
just wondering how difficult it is to do it yourself??

thanks

Why exactly are you wanting to lift?
What sort of lift, regardless though it's always easier & safer with an extra pair of hands.

um i am putting a 2inch body lift in an old l200

[4x4man]

hello just finished putting the body lift kit on and am having problems changeing gears and putting into 4wd and 2wd ???can any one help me ???
thanks

Gear levers will be hitting the body or shifter boots, remove them and move the levers into the various positions to see where. To fix you can either cut offending areas or bend the levers.

okay thanks do u not have to worry about lifting up the gearbox??thank

[zukmeista]

You could but that would mess with the driveshaft angles and may cause vibrations.

also when pushing down the clutch it makes a very horrible sound???

[zukmeista]

Probably a stuffed clutch release or spigot bearing, gearbox or motor out job to replace but bearing itself shouldn't cost too much. Probably best to replace clutch and machine flywheel at the same time depending on clutch condition.

is it hydro clutch or cable

[4x4man]

pretty sure its cable but dont worry think i got it fixed now ???
also does anyone know if hilux bars would fit onto an l200?

[4x4man]

also once i have put the lift on will i be able to get through warrent and reg all right ???
thanks

You are legally required to have a cert for bodylift to get a WOF. However there are probably places that will pass it without cert.

thanks but what if they do notice ????

[derk]

if they do notice they either A. give you a wof anyway and don't worry about it or B. fail your vehicle and send you around the corner to see the lvvta certifier guy to lighten your pockets a bit and give you the compliance you need to pass a wof

also wondering how much it would cost to put a rear diff locker in ???

depends how much you want to spend and what your using the vehicle for.

auto lockers start at $400 + fitting, few manual lockers, up to 2k+ plus fitting for eaton harrop E-locker.

depends what is made for your vehicle.

they all have pros and cons.
