2inch lift

Gday everyone hope you all had a good xmas. went up the bush on the weekend had a great time with the family, i thought that if i drove carefully and went over the wosh outs on an angle i wouldnt belly out, lol well i very fast came to realize that i couldnt do it. so i was just woundering how to go about getting a 2inch lift on my gu patrol and at what sort of cost. All in all my patrol handled every thing else so well and the ride is so much more comfettable then my old mans land cruiser.

Thanks Sparra 1

Hey Sparra, you can get away with a 2" lift with just springs and shocks, castor correction not reeeeely necessary over 2 definately need more spent. Dollar wise shop around mate.

Edit: And you will need a wheel alignment as well :-)

Hi Sparra. If you are really tight like me, you can buy a set of 2" spacers from eBay and a set of 2" lift shocks and do it yourself. My Ti has 250,000kms on her and the springs still feel fine. It was a cheap conversion ($90 for the spacers and $320 for thr shocks). I know the purists will complain, but my Troll will go just about anywhere with the front diff lock and 2" lift.

thanks heeps Fixer i think this might be the way to go , pocket wise cheers mate

thanks growler thats a good tip i wouldnt have thort i would need a wheel alignment.. i also herd i might have to extend my brake lines etc ect would this be true ?? cheers bud

Im not 100% on the brake lines mate but if you were to buy an extended line for the rear the one you take off the rear would be quite adequate for the front. Also re the wheel alignment go to a place that specializes in 4b's and get it done properly, not the cheapest option but in my experiences the best

Hi Sparra,

You need to be carefull with what you fit. Its no good fitting something unless its legal. If you have an accident and claim on your insurance they will someone out to check your vehicle out and if is not roadworthy due to some modification, they will not pay out. Then again what about the safety to your family.

I don't believe you will need to extend the brake lines. To check after fitment jack up the one side so that the wheel hangs down and look at the brake line to see if it is stretched.
