Body lifts...how hard are they to put in?

I have seen guys try and Bend it with mixed results.

Cutting a slot in the floor is simple and works well. I had to also slot the back of the boot to allow for it to make some room for the stick. Not that big a deal though

Yea I get you can bend them, I might try adjust mine.

Is it ever worth doing 1 inch???

I did.. and was enough for me. I'm now at a happy 3 inches.... In lift...

Anyway, yep easy as. A couple of points to watch for, as mentioned remove all rubber between chassis and body..
Secondly, and the biggest... Watch the brake lines from cab to chassis... They are a coil, but still can kink...
Also if you have rear stabilizer release you will need to remove the front bracket securing it to your chassis, to allow it to move up, its a solid cable so don't bother trying to bend it or move it...

You will also need to do longer brake lines from body to axles and also your rear brake bias will need an adapter plate now your getting that high, otherwise you will have no rear brakes..

Stock bolts are a M10 fine thread, 100mm long.
I went m12 fine thread, 120 long for my 1" lift, so you'll need 140mm long
Make sure you get zinc coated bolts..

Where did you get the kit from? Please ensure you are using high tensile 8.8 bolts..

got the kit from a 4X4 shop , yes they are all 8.8 high tensile bolts . have solved the issue now just added another washer to spread the load over the original bushes
