Offroad-Express

hey just been looking around on the net, wondering if anyone has used or looked into the ifs lift kits companies such as rocky mountain have to offer. Would they be certifiable in NZ, some of them are quite well priced. if anyone has any information would be appreciated.
Cheers Mat

just checked that site out, there wanting $2800au for a kit where as the yank kits work out $1600NZD, has anyone fitted one or know about cert issues

heres a link to what Rocky Mountain has to offer.

Generally speaking if you run over a 33" tire on a IFS front diff you will destroy it offroad.
The 4-5" IFS lifts use drop brackets to lower the front diff canceling out the front clearance gains from larger tires. And you don't really gain any suspension travel .

Nice for a road shiney though.

yeah i understand how they work, and this is for a road truck, but want it road worthy there for must be certifiable. i have my mud truck but after a learner drive pranged into my daily driver causing enough damage to write it of iv decided to build something that will run them over instead next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if its ya road truck, guessing you just want it looking huge with big tyres.. it should be fine with a spring lift and a big (80mm ish) body lift that should get you enough room to clear some 35's (just make sure you fold the seams inside the gards)

I have some diffs that a mate regeared at work and some 38' swampers so im wanting to go a lil bigger than that, im thinkin 4'' lift kit and 3.5'' body lift. i saw it done in oz when i was living there but have never seen one of the kits used over here.

wow im interested to see it and the build. It does seem like a bit of a waste just having it as a street truck though..
