2.6" body lift

[R1cho]

well i got some spacers a bit back 2.6" for a bodylift

and today i fit them to the truck :naughty

and heres the rest of the story

o.k the 2.6" lift is done no issues what so ever but haven't tested 4low yet, oh and i aint got a saggy arse :lol :lol anyway pics so it's true
not really many pics as you can imagine as was busy

spacers in place on back end but not bolted yet because the problem of the captive 1.25 pitch bolt needed to be solved, so i solved it with mr grinder

then removed the captive nut and replaced with new

for the captive nut in the middle mr drill came out to play

now to cure the saggy arse and i dont know if this will work on a 2" lift or not mr grinder came out to play again

these bits then slid onto the top of the chassis no probs and got welded in place

no need for making spacers and brackets etc.

see no saggy arse

have been for a drive and handling is fine everything works as should as said not tested transfer lever yet for 4low but will do that tomoz

so where does 2.6" come from, 3" not viable?

have to be a bore and ask what does insurer
think or charge for the pleasure?

 

[R1cho]

insurance not bothered, and its 2.6" cos thats the size of the spacers i could get for as little as possible lol all in its cost me about £30

 

[stinka]

Does low engage ok then ?

Where did you gat the spacers from ?

 

[96terrano]

4 low goes in but its a struggle to get it there but that will soon be fixed, got the spacers off ebay

not really at the moment the lift is so i can fit bigger tyres on then it will improve ground clearance, but it has moved the sills up out the way

keep up the good work, an ambassador for modding lwb.
presuming gear sticks shorter, bearable or can they be
lengthened?

Cool, so what you doing with lever, welding a bit on or getting sommit to screw on ?

Got a link for spacers ?

Did you reweld in the bit of chassis you cut out to get rid of rear captivated nuts ?

cheers

i think it needs bending forward a touch as it has ran out of room to travel or just need to cut out a bit of the trim at the back of the lever so it has extra room for travel

it wasn't in the chassis it was in the last bit of the body just below the boot door and was a breeze just to put a quick seam weld on it, sorry no link for spacers they were a one off job lot that was left over from a building job
