suspension lift checklist!

[MudSurfer]

I think on mine i have spent about £450 but like i say you don't need the b/j spacers but i just want to have them for the sake of it really

Well, the 2" lift in Oct cost me about £400

This little project is about the same......

i fitted the extended brake lines for the off roading side so there's plenty of slack in them and won't stretch

Good plan - I may get some of those from RoughTrax....

yep that looks like the ones i got Andy but when you order them just ask for the extended braided brake hoses just to be on the safe side.I will find the invoice and check the part no. out later

Here's some pics Andrew of the diff spacers and the extended brake lines.
The first 2 are the nuts from thru the wheel arches.The passenger side will be the easiest to get to(pic2) but on mine i had to take 3 10mm bolts out that hold a couple of pipes in place so i could get to the nut with a socket.The 3rd pic is where i had to trim back the exhaust heat plate about 6"

Cheers Richard - if you can let me know the part number, then I'll get them ordered before the end of the week. Anyone need anything from RoughTrax to even out the shipping cost a bit?

I've only snapped 2 since I bought the Surf - one on the air intake hose as it bolts to the turbo intake pipe, and one putting the rocker cover back on.....

Those diff spacers look just like small nylon bodylift blocks. Is that all they are?

Time for a dumb question - where are those on the site and are are sure they'll fit?

If we are all agreed, then I'll place the order tonight and they should be with me on Thursday...
