Thread: Lifted P38 on air - questions

Controller: DB-140 Controller Edit: I paid less than that on an ebay auction mind you

Battery: Neuton Power 12v 105AH Deep Cycle AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) Battery

Location: In spare wheel well, bolted down with a home made battery clamping system (where the jack used to sit in it's nice pretty foam)

Cable and connectors: Lots of Anderson plugs so the system can be disconnected and carried around (bending the knees for the 30kg battery of coarse). 4 AWG amp cable (a car amplifier power combo on special) on top of the chassis and up through the rubber bung behind the rear drivers wheel.

Maybe I should have created another thread for this... If there is on more question I'll start a new thread. Hows that sound.

Sounds like a good setup!

I was purely interested, have one in mine already. I like to sticky beak at what others are running and how they find it!

You'll be happy with the 105ah battery - mine is running my ARB fridge right now just for the sake of using it. 2 days and its still -3! I normally get 2.5 to 3 days running the fridge real cold before I need to top the battery up.

1hr til I can pull out the tools and finally knock the lift on the head! I'm prepping the welder as I type...

Woohoo. Be good to see the pics at the end. I more wanna see the flex!!!!

It's done, I didn't weld the spacers to the diff in the rear (didn't trust my skills and the bro was "on his way" all day but didn't arrive). I welded the spacer pins to the spacers, so effectively they are now "bosses". I didn't get the chance to take it for a drive as I've had other commitments, but I am quietly confident that its all good.

I also put my old front shocks onto the rear and removed the TF144's.

I have pics, will throw them up later via the laptop!

Cheers

Good on you Kiethy, you more than deserve to enjoy your hard earned work. I know you've saved me weeks and many dollars on my future suspension - thanks:thumbup:

Pbrown that sounds like my exact setup. I decided on 2awg cable as there's a winch going in atm, and a 140a circuit breaker next to the main battery.

Cheers mate, ill be glad if it saves a few people a few pennies and the mistakes/engineering issues that I had.

Once I'm completely satisfied and have given it a flogging off road ill start a new thread with only the vital info, specs and more importantly, the height sensor mods needed to make everything happy. As it is now it goes into fault if the car sinks down, so it's not the end of the line for the "kit" yet, but it is complete enough to do the job without being half-done or dodgy. Just needs height sensor tweaks, and the bump stop that I'm waiting on!

Cheers

Yeah thanks Keith for being the pioneer of this new style/breed (as far as I'm aware) of lift kit. Indeed your leanings have been appreciated and applied. Well I hope they have.

Nora is in for the engine swap, so the lift kit I have sitting in the garage will be fitted upon her return.
