What happened about building your own body lift kits? I am very interested in doing my own body lift, and after reading recent threads, I just wondered if making up kits had come about - need a new project

Kiwi- seems to be a slow project! I only got round to installing my bodylift a few weeks back so I'm still in the process of evaluating it- but it seems to be okay. I've asked our engineering shop for quotes on the blocks but they've been a bit slow getting back to me....Originally posted by KiwiWhat happened about building your own body lift kits?

Alternativley you could get most of the kit from Roger Brown at www.4Crawler.com the prices are quite reasonable. For a standard automatic Surf and 2" body lift all you need is the blocks, bumper brackets & rad brackets. The steering joint can be spaced out with washers and there's no need for any mods to the transmision levers (my Hi-Lo lever is more difficult to select but more on that in another thread) . Source the long bolts in the UK to save shipping on weight.

I got hold of some polyethylene rollers from a conveyer belt type thingy. The centre hole is exactly the right diameter and I reckon I can cut them straight with the mitre saw. They shouldn't donut because I have put an offcut in a press and couldn't squash or split it. It's another job to do when I get a round tuit!It's only a hobby!Comment

I haven't measured them properly but they are about 2" dia. I was originally going to use them to wind coils on for an aerial project.Originally posted by laser_jock@workIt's only a hobby!Comment
