What things need to be done for a 4'' suspension lift
Hey guys i drive a 97 GU ST patrol with stock suspension, and i am coming real close to installing a lift for it.... I am real keen to go for a 4'' lift, as i do love getting into some rough stuff and love to see some flexing, My main question with a 4'' lift is...
what are all of things i would need to change or modify for it in terms of drive lines, brake lines etc.... In the end i want it to be done properly and as safe as possible with no problems later on with my "Pride and joy".
And i do understand i have to get a engineers certificate for it also.....
Between me and my 4wd club i will be doing this all in my garage, as its hard to find a shop that will actually lift a 4wd more than 2''.. And i am also don't want to be charged an arm and a leg for someone else to install it for me...
Thanks guys!!

Agree with growlers71gq. A lot to do and I'd be contacting an engineer before. I wanted 3" & 35" tyres in Vic & nobody would sign off that I could find. Settled for 2" & 32" tyres. If an engineer's on board, you can usually buy complete kits from varying places with every part u need. Do the research & u won't b disappointed. Also consider insurance, including 3rd party that comes with rego(depending on state). Good luck

Now just in - GQ Shorty 4.2 petrol, UHF - but looking at turbo or V8 conversion
