I just paid about $300 for a 50mm body lift kit and will install over a weekend myself, hopefully. $1900+ sounds like you had a doctor install it. ;)

I was being generous as you never know where the work is going to get done! Naturally the labour invovled in getting this all done is a significant expense, fine if you have the facilities/skills to do it yourself.

$300!! Does that include the extensions to the transfer case and gear levers, extension to the steering rack & brake lines as well as the modified top mounts for the radiator?

G'day Peter,
yeh, I know how prices can vary I'm going the other extreme. Although, it probably could be done cheaper again.
The kit I got from rovertym has the transfer lever extension, steering extension and modified radiator mounts and seat belt extensions. I've then ordered 4 inch extended braided brake lines from paddock spare for about $120 delivered.

Cheers,
Pete

Howdy Clean, Mate i have fitted the 2 inch lift to my disco and it handles 100 times better than standard stuff . It feels more stable on the road (less body roll) . I got the ironman stuff and it is a little stiff but way better . Would leave the body lift unless you are going to be fitting huge wheels . I'm thinking of a body lift as i have 32's i want to put on but it will only be a 1 inch lift not 2.:)

I had a hard long look at te iron man stuff, unfortunatly thay cant give me much in the line of numbers / loading, progresive loadings/rebound rates etc so i cant do the maths, no maths = no sale,

a spring/ shock lift will happen, but i think its better
to get the clearance issue sorted first.

Anyone know what the legalities are like in Vic with Bodylifts and airbags. (The ones that pop out of the steering wheel and smack you in the face, not the one that make it a cushy ride)
