A couple of bits of wiring loom pull a bit tight, and the fan hits the fan shroud, so you need to trim the bottom of the shroud off a bit.
The transfer box lever hits the floor, so the floor needs 'modifying' a bit.
Not done one myself, but the safari I just bought has an inch body lift and these are the bits that I've seen.

Hope this helps :D

And despite what some others might say, lots of people have body lifts in their trucks. Personally I'm not a big fan of body lifting, but it is a cheaper way of getting bigger tyres to fit without screwing up your suspension and/or spending a fortune........

Depends what you want. A mate is running a 25mm body lift in his and has had it in for years. I think he used 80mm diameter blocks and does allot of off road driving. I would say most people that have had bad experience with body lifts might have gone for the regular 50mm and probably 60mm diameter. 25mm lift was enough for him to clear his 35 simex's. I can get more info from him if needed. His is a manual though!

no need to trim the fan shroud as the bottom section simply unclips :wink:
