Phase 1 complete..

Good luck with the springs, hope your compressors are up to the front struts....

I just bought some bergen 300mm 2000kg ones so should do the job me thinks. If not i'll drop the whole front end!!

Looking at that 3rd pic, if you lift the truck any further, remember to do it when parked *outside* the garage.

Oh, and looking good.

How does it drive? Is it very different on road? Obviously you have re adjusted the auto shifter and spaced the steering column, have you done anything with the transfer box shifter or is it ok as is?
I really should have planned my mods better, and done the lift BEFORE sound deadening the floor...

I can think of 3 options.

1. Un-lift Surf, drive out, redo lift, swear a lot.
2. Get four of the more 'ample' Surfers to come round and sit in the Surf while you drive out.
3. Fit a body lift to the garage - i.e. couple of big trolley jacks under the corners.

Close???

Tbh doesn't drive any different than before, no difference on the road, auto shifter adjusted, Tony made a poly spacer for steering shaft, similar to the one at la supertrux and took a powerfile to the chunk of useless steel on downpipe. As for the transfer shifter, when the truck was started it knocked against the left side of the tranny tunnel but not when driving, that was enough of an excuse for me to take an angle grinder to it and remove about 10mm from the tunnel. All is now Sweet!! It would have been a good idea to fit breather hose to transfer case too as the original breather is right under the rubber gater and access is easy when the rubber aint there, never mind another job on the list.

Mine's 5" lift on 33s.

Last time at Tony's, it went 3/4 the way in with about 10mm to spare, though I did take my light bar off.

However, when he jacked it up to fit the manual hubs, he did unwittingly jack the garage up too
