Lifted P38 on air - questions

I wouldn't do any 4wding until its all complete. You'll end up snapping a height sensor with the extra travel you'll get!

Other than that it seems a solid plan - after having done it all, and made/making changes as I go, I could recommend your way as being the sensible option.

I did the height sensors first, nothing wrong with that except I can't hit the bump stops due to teething issues, then I did spacers and shocks at the same time as each other.

Either way the vehicle is still driveable, that's the main thing!

Welding the spacers to the diff tomorrow!

Wish me luck!

No going back now!
Nah, it'll be good; infact, itll be great.

Hi Keithy

any particular reason welding instead of bolting?

Paul

There is not a great deal of room on the diff to bolt them down. I'd be comfortable with four bolts but I feel that I'd be compromising the spacers and diff pad by drilling holes in them.

Welds are much stronger, and I can grind them off if ever I feel the need to remove them.

Good luck, if it was me welding it would look like ****. A couple of pics would be good once done to help visualise what you've done.

No worries. I'm no expert boilermaker, I have welded in the past and I rekon I could make something that'll do the job! If my first weld looks a bit dodgy ill get out the angle grinder and start again! Failing that, my bro is available tomorrow and he would likely produce art compared to my welds, so that's plan b!

Another deviation from the plan, my fault! I need to shorten the spacer pins to the exact length required to hold the spacers down before I weld anything. I will use them as well as the welds (sort of like plan b while using plan a).

Wish I had more gear in the garage... Hopefully ill be welding tomorrow.

Thanks to Brian (Goanna_shire) for bailing me out! The spacer pins are now the right length. Tomorrow should spell the end of my playing around under the Rangie, and more driving and generally enjoying the P38-ness that we have all come to love.

Cheers

Where can I get myself one one of these Brians ha ha? Getting closer Keith... unlike me who's progress has gone stagnant.

Edit: I have put in a dual battery system and aftermarket sub though so still being tinkering with the Rangie though
