    Howdy guys, thanks for the feed back, body lift doesn't seem like the go. would rather speend my bucks else where anyway, just new it would be easier to fit the sliders with one.
    How do you guys get on with over a 2" lift and 33" tryres legaly in QLD for insurance etc???

    Cheers Tony.

    Thanks guys, doesn't sound like a body lift is worth it, would rather spend my bucks elsewhere anyway

    A body lift kit , what is 12 or so blocks and longer bolts, is way more cheaper than upgrade suspension by a country mile
    Body lifts kits what $150, wont get 2"springs and longer shocks for what under a grand or so
    Done the body lift in my ute , trolley jack,block of wood, removed from one heap and in the ute all in a few hours, so goin new maybe same time, depends on how hard the old bolts are to get out
    Youll need to mod the shifter plate a touch and get a longer clutch hose,about it
    Legalities wise
    2" body lift can be approved,must be pre approved before fitting then must go for an inspection before final approval , usually like at a machinery station (most older 4bies would fail on full machinery, hence many dont get approved)
    Suspension is 1/3 more travel than factory offered, usually 2" more
    Tyres are 15 mm taller than the talest offered on that model

    IF ya not sure checkout QLD DOT website, its all there what ya can or cant do ,legally that is
