    50 mm or 2 inch lift

    G'day folks I have a '98 Gu and am going to get a 2 inch lift kit -- My question is, Is it easy enough to do your self with basic tools or should I just bite the bullet and leave it to the pro's ??

    Pricing just affects time frame thats all.

    Easy to do in the carport with some mates and some tools. As mentioned, safety first.

    Well it sounds like a plan.

    ---- I will get me parts
    ---- set aside a day
    ---- send the minister of finance out for the day
    ---- fire up the coffee machine
    ---- And pull the suspension to bits

    Many thanks folks,
    If I happen to have any spare parts left over don't you guys go to far away as I will be asking where it belongs

    Fitting would be around the $300-$400 mark for springs and shocks only. And even that's a jip as they have spring compressors that they do up and undo with a rattle gun - makes it bloody quick ...
