Thread: Lifting a D2 with SLS

Well, a quick tutorial on how to lift a D2 with SLS, using the 4wd Intelligence kit.

So take a std D2:



Remove the ignition key and open the drivers door.

Jack up and remove front wheels. Let axle drop to lowest point.



Now undo the bolts that hold the shock in at the base (13mm)



Undo 4 nuts holding Turret in: (13mm)



Lift out turret and shock assembly ( bit fiddly as need 2 people to free up any snags:



Undo the bolt that holds the brake lines in (just for ease really (13mm))



Remove spring.



Place in new spring. may (will) need compressors or a big lever.



To remove the turret and shock on the drivers side you will need to unclip the header tank:



There is also an wiring loom that clips to it so unclip that too.

Remove shocks from turrets (18mm) and fit new one.



lower in turret and shock ( a second person makes this a lot easier. )



Nip up all the bolts.



Do the same for the other side, remembering to clip the loom in to the turret and refit the header tank.

Once thats done, you can head to the back....

So remove the wheels



These are the links that contorl the height sensors



This what makes the SLS cars seem harder to lift.

Place the provided extender in between the arm and the link. Bolt up so it is in line



Now you need to fit the bracket to drop the brake hoses, so unbolt it:



Fit bracket, ensuring bolt heads are to the inside:



Remember, same for both sides!!

Now, remove the cover for the compressor:



This is what you will see: (see notes in red) remove highlighted ones, Remeber to put them back in once the bags are removed, but do them up by hand to start with and then very gently with a spanner



This will let down the airbags. Once that has done Twist the base of the bag 90 degrees and lift it up:



These are the lift blocks:



Bolt them in place:



Once they are fitted, refit the bags (the little holes should be at the front and rear):



Remove shock (18mm)



Fit new shock:



Now ensure al brake lines are tidy and not rubbing. We covered them with some conduit:



Now let car down and go round and tighten up all the bolts.

Shut drivers door, and start car. Car pumps up and everything works (hopefully!)



Must say the 4wd intelligence kit is very good.
