Not sure anyone has fitted one of these yet, from Milners.

Interesting that they ist both swb and lwb as £69 wen one has 8 spacers and the other 10. Would this be a case of the legendary Milners customer care - thinking steering idlers etc with wrong holes, UJ joints tat don't fit etc. f its the kit off another car that they think will fit the bolts may well be wrong.


But on a positive side 1 1/2 " is reasonable thats about 35mm but you can go 60mm without any diffiuculty - depends why you're doing it.

I'd guess 33" tyres based on 31s fit std truck 1 1/2" x 2 = 3" so 31 + 3 = 34 but you can't get 34 so fit 33s. But you might need a spring lift too.

body lift

have got some 2"spacers at work that i was gonna put on my 2.7(before it died)the main problem was sourcing the bolts.machinest at work was gonna make me some but never got that project off the ground.might have to revive it.would just be easier if all the bits come in one kit.have got some 2"lift springs to fit first,then might go for the body lift.will need some bigger tyres then :? my mrs will kill me :lol: :lol:

much i as want to lift, my prob well one of them is mrs getting in.
mind could keep steps on. tends to stand on them to buckle little one in!

thing with body lift is time to do it, time out of use, lengthing all pipework
etc. need a plan to make sure everything ready to do.

reminds when used to see body kits in us 4x4 mag, $70 compare to say
$500 for suspension kit. guess balances when factor in the time/labour.
