Body lift blocks question.

[Lazy-Ferret]

I was just wondering if anyone knows if 40mm diameter blocks would be ok to do a lwb body lift, or do they need to be 50mm?

I have just got 10 50mm high blocks but then discovered that they are only 40mm in diameter, so before i get the bolts I wondered if anyone can help.

sent from my phone, sorry for any typo's.

Can I help in measuring? Ive got a fresh kit packaged up :nenau

Run Alex, run
The bigger the better or you'll get twist going on and could bend the bolts and end up with a wonky body
I don't think 40mm is enough

I don't understand this fully

Can I make my body lift bigger? Prob a silly question.

*awaits abuse* :naughty

It's the diameter of the block (spacer) that I'm on about. If it's say 30mm it's not stable enough and the whole body could effectively twist off
70mm has a much bigger arse and so stays put better :thumbs
The height of the block can be bigger if you want more body lift, but will cause issues over 50mm ht

you might struggle getting the bolts
on the LWB you need 10,
6 are M10, no problem
but the 4 captive ones are m12 x 1.25 ( fine thread) and the length you need for a 50mm body lift is 150mm
they are hard to find and expensive (all the shops i tried only stock 100mm)

Thanks Makeitfit, I did wonder, that's why I thought it best to double check.

The local Engineering company are getting them for me, well hopefully...

Trouble is, I ordered them before I got the blocks, not realising they were only 40mm diameter, rather than 50... so Might have to give them a call tomorrow and if they have not got them, get them to cancel the order, as it becomes a pointless exercise.

Xpajun kits come with bolts . Give them a shout for off the shelf bolts but any decent fixings outlet should be able to get them.

Head bolts for a 2.8 tdi iveco engine as found in nissans, vauxhalls etc are the right size and pretty cheap if bought as a set, cheaper still used from someone changing them on an engine
