Im looking at doing a body lift on my prado (LJ71), has anyone done this on a LJ71 if so what did you use and how hard was it?

hi there is a guy on trademe selling lift block and bolt kits, I have bought one and waiting for it to arrive, I am not sure it will fit yours but should so long as you only have 10 mounting points same as other 70 series trucks. you will need to either make radiaor mounts (to lower back down ) or adapt your radiator shroud. (do not be tempted to remove shroud as it will likely over heat so I have read) exsisting streering rack should be okay so long as there is still enough length to have a good join onto box. you may need to adjust brakelines, check where they go between body and chassis or body to susp and see if you have any room for movement. have fun. link to auction is: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 795650.htm

hi nick you will need 8 blocks 60-70/dia x50 h with a 12mm hole when i did my truck i just ordered them in from aus,
try someone like http://www.superiorengineering.com.au they are selling them for 15.00 aus which includes the noylon spacer a
crush tube and a washer.it was a peace off piss do do, when you do it remove all the bolts on one side first and then measure them and add 50mm the reason being youll need about 3 diffent size bolts, all 8 are not the same length, my truck was a 88 lj71 when i did mine i lifted it 50mm and eveything was sweet, cheers greg
