This already can be necessary from 40.000 kilometers OE-damper-milage. Shock absorbers - if the standard shock absorbers are not fully operative anymore and their efficiency has worn off considerably, we strongly recommend to replace those by new standard shock absorbers or by sports shock absorbers, if using lowering springs. Wheel adjustment - after completion of the spring/suspension installation, checking the wheel adjustment is required. Mounting position - you can 'read' the mounting position of the springs from the imprint - have them installed just the way you read the imprint. Mounting - we recommend to have our spring system installed by a qualified workshop only, that has skilled personnel and the required special tools available.

Thankfully nothing sheared off and lights and bumpers e.t.c. Started doing my body lift this morning in minus 50c weather The studs aren't threaded all the way so you can't just cut the extra length off.Дў000 Vitara 4u2, 3+3 lift, 33s, winch, safari rack, steel front axle and 5:83 R&Ps, LWB brakes Box section is usually only used for 3' kits because of the length of the body studs.

I'll try Baldys idea first, and if that go's pear shape i'll try Suzotas ideaДў' might be a problem. Only have to lift the body 3 inches then. Or cut a slot in the spacer so the bolt slides through the side of the box. I would remove the steering joint from the bulkhead end as when you fit the kit you will have to lift it around 5' to get the spacer under the body bolt. Oh yeah there was that as well, i had to make two extension spacers for mine as it was just too short to reach, with a 2' lift you may be ok without spacers though. Ive soaked the body mount bolts with penetrating fluid today as well as the bumper bolts, hopefully nothing will shear tomorrow I ask this as i had to with a Daihatsu fourtrack i lifted last year !! baldy.Дid you have to loosen off the steering joint. just lift the body slowly and check the loom around the engine mine got a bit tight so i had to unclip it in a few places, oh just thought remove the dissy earth and the main engine earth, but don't forget to put them back afterward or it wont go. Don't worry about the rad hoses the rad is fixed to the chassis so it wont move relative to the engine. Oh and like you mentioned your fuel filler.

Hi, I did my 3' lift about 2 months ago, you need to watch the brake pipe splitter on the chassis drivers side, just un bolt it from the chassis and it should be OK, you air filter hose, vacuum pipe for the brake servo, hand brake cables (remove the brackets that secure them to the chassis) and also your passengers side front brake line (remove the clip that hold it in place on the strut and turn it 90deg where it goes through the body so it faces down). Yes i would raise the suspension first, but finance's wont allow and my GV wheels and 237/70-16's are catching on the body work.

Things to keep an eye on i think are: brake lines,fuel filler hose,steering joint/knuckle, possibly rad hoses and fan surround!, Engine bay wiring, diff and gear sticks.ДЄlso, do you do one side at a time (first choice?) or front first then back ? What i'd like to know from you folks that have experience, is what do i need to be aware of that needs modifying or keeping an eye on ? Ive made it out of 4mm box section painted in hammerite. Well guys,tomorrow i'm hopefully fitting a 2 inch body lift to my SWB vitara. Posted: Wed 7:08 pm Post subject: Vitara body lift fitting
