I have done a quick search but could'nt find the answer.I am thinking of doing a body lift but can't afford the lra kit($680).On another forum i can get a 2" kit for $150 only includes body blocks no seat belt extensions or anything for the bullbar.So am i better off waiting till i can afford the lra one or is it over priced.Does it need an engineers cert in vic if so who do i get to do it.
Thanks in advance Brett

P.s here is the link to the other kit

If I had the money I would of bought a LRA kit. I think for a bolt in kit it is worth it. However, I coundn't afford it and so I order a Rovertym kit which cost me $308 landed. I'll then have to make brackets to realign bumpers. Snake racing also have similar kits now and offer engineering certs.

Il be doing my own over the next few weeks tho mine wont just be blocks ive spoken to an engineer and have got the go ahead to extend the body mounts up on the chasis by way of welding on tube to original mounts then using flat plate to gusset the tubes back to the chasis and being a quailfied welder i can do so and then have said engineer pass it and i virtualy have no limit to how high i can go as its not just a bolt in block its a modification to the chasis and have been told its probably the best and safest way to go and i will be doing the same with the other mounts for rear seat belts and the seat supports as for front and rear bars nce the body is back on il be making a tube bar up front and rear bar with tyre carrier for the rear so all looks in proportion :D:D
