What is involved in removing a body lift?

[Winnie]

Couldn't find any topic on this, so the new Troll has a 2" body lift which I wanna remove for a few reasons. 1 it's not legal, 2 I just don't like body lifts.
So what sort of things will I need to do this? Shorter bolts? What type of botlts? Different body mounts? I've got no idea, that's why I'm asking you guys!

Standard mounts. Also the bar work will probably be up the poop if it was made for the lift

I'm gonna put my bulbar on it so no problems there!

I wanna play.... can I play too !!!!!!!!

Just shorter bolts Kris. If you ask around a member may well have a set of standard bolts after fitting body lift mate? Even the old owner may well have a set?? I might have some but not sure mate?? I don't throw anything out!

Pretty pricey for a bit of rubber

If the bar is modded for the lift, just swap it all over with the party bus so you will have the mounts and bolts.

And sell the party bus with the lift

That is a great idea! Assuming your selling yours without a RWC then just do that mate!

X2. The only bolts which may be an issue are the 2 rear ones. There a captive nut were as the rest are nut and bolt.
Most people go to a 12mm bolt when lifting so they may have mangled the rear captive nuts to get the 12mm bolts in..

Stock bolts are m10x100 metric fine, zinc coated..
Imo there are a little long and you can use m10x90 metric fine zinc bolts.

Yes you're right Kallen! I remember reading on his build thread that he drilled the thread out and put a bolt instead. Does this change anything?

Good idea Toddie, but I was gonna sell it with a RWC because people are lazy and will pay a lot more for a car with a roady. Then I suppose I have the issue of will the bullbar modified to fit a 2" lift fit on a standard car? I don't care if it looks silly but will it bolt on?

Hey Kris once you have it and sorting it out then maybe put a Swap post on a mudrhino mate and you will likely get a bloke keen to swap his non modified bar for your modified for body lift bar. Straight swap. I don't think you'd have any trouble. They move a heap HEAP of stuff in the forsale and wanted / swap section there!
