Lifted P38 on air - questions

A bit envious Keithy. The Mrs is in Hospital for the weekend now so REALY a no go! Unless I can fit lockers and some 33's to a hospital bed :twisted:. You'll have to keep me updated!

Cheers,
Brian

Sorry to hear about that mate, I hope she is ok! We will have to do some sketches and size up that hospital bed for some muddies! I think 33's might be a bit much, might chuck some 32's on it instead ;-)

With 12 vehicles going its sure to be a lot of fun! Ill let you know how it goes!

Cheers
Keithy

Hi All

I am now up to welding the the lift plates together and thank all for their input in particular Keithy & Davidson, will take shots once done. Most parts required ordered, and now waiting on parts to come in hopefully beat the xmas transport bog down.

Have found it difficult to locate a supplier for braided extended brake lines apparently the 2000 yr p38 and different to the earlier p38.

Im now looking at the height sensors and leaning towards extending top and bottom arms 25mm each for rear as davidson has it Keithy has indicated he may do the same.

With the fronts is there any advantage/disadvantage to also extending top and bottom arms say 12mm each

Cheers Paul

Paul,

I don't t think there is any disadvantage to using the same approach on the front height sensors as the rears, I just found there was very little meat to play with ie the arms are short and it therefore means there's little to attach to.

I've just had the +2" braided brake lines installed and they do make a difference. I got mine from Devon 4x4. But they were for a GEMS. Good luck.

Apparently Bearmach make them for the later p38 2000 year but very difficult to arrange a supplier. If fact I find that if I ask for parts that are not available on websites then the sellers are not to interested in getting involved, guess its a worth their time thing.

I will probably have to arrange custom made or reposition the brackets.

Repositioning the brackets will kill 2 birds with the same stone. I nearly ripped an ABS line out yesterday. I have not extended my ABS lines or dropped the bracket. Instead I have uncoupled the sensor from the secondary hold on the diff for added length.

EDIT: rear diff only - the front ABS lines are long enough in my opinion.

Cheers
Keithy

Thanks davidson, checked out devon 4x4 and they also sell them for my model so made the purchase, will look at also lowering the bracket, thanks Keithy.

I still have a bunch of brake line extensions left over from the Hard Range 2" lift kit, which I discontinued about a year ago.
PM me for a very reasonable deal, within Australia only.
Alternately, you could use the attached photo to draw your own "inspiration" :)
Cheers, Paul.

Here's another little video I made up from the weekend just gone!
