Thread: BODY LIFT?

havnt done one but looked into it

From memory any body lift will need some work done on brake lines and other bits and peices.

Fan is the hardest because of the shroud around it, soon as you lift the body it will hit.
A twin fan system and top shroud from an EL falcon(think thats right) will make a good replacement.

Brake lines need extending, ABS as well if you have it.
Fuel lines
the list gets bigger the more you lift.

Les Richmond in Melbourne sells a kit:

Body Lift: RR but Disco is sim.

1: 10 spacers the lth you wish to raise car. 50mm diam STEEL, with 11mm holes through centre.

2: 10 new bolts grade 8.8 130mm long for 50m lift.

3: behind rear wheel is 2 bolt on body supports each side, remove and add extra to top to suit lift you want.

4: under front seat you will require another spacer top be made (bolt in).

5: seat belt mounts, extend, use 25x3 flat mild steel drill holes at what ever lift you give leaving 10mm edge distance.

6: front brake line can be pulled through anoth er 50mm and remounted with exist bracket or fit ne longer lines.

7: rear brake line rotate rear tee 90 degrees or fit new brke line.
(BLEED BRAKES after}

8: radiator not sure on disco. but on RR rad sits on chassy and has to bolt on brackets that mount on front panel. lower front panel brackets leaving rad on the chassy mount then shroud and hoses will be left std.

9: loosen stearing u joints there is enough spline to allow a 50mm lift.

thats most things.
