everytime that get's posted it (quite rightly) gets a proper slating

something to do with not going up and down kerbs for fear of the lift blocks snapping and the body falling off!!!

Someone on the HPOC site used steel tube and threaded bar to do a bodylift, can remember how high the lift was, but was basically told by loads of people how dangerous it was.

You mean the 10" lift blocks I'm getting made will be no good. Dam!!!!!!!

I knew it was rubbish when I posted it

Excuse my ignorance, but are the lift blocks those little tubes on either side of the radiator?

yup

[Sancho]

yup

Crikey. I don't think I would get in that parked.

this might be a safer bet, still appears to have about a 4" bodylift if you go by the exhaust position. Hope it's been re-geared, even a 3 litre is gonna know it's wearing 37" tyres http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1995-TOYOTA-HI...ayphotohosting

dumb noob question but why would they snap the lift blocks?

weeeelllll..........

take a knife, the sort you eat your dinner with,then bend it and keep bending it till it breaks,so you have a knife half the length of the original knife. now try breaking that half,and it would be appreciably harder,keep doing this till its impossible to break the knife any more.the moments of force around the point of breakage increase with the the shortening of the knife,and must therefore decrease with lengthening of the knife.now imagine that the knife is a body lift block,and you can see that as the block gets longer the amount of force required to break it gets appreciably smaller

Ok I now have a knife thats broken in half, and blood all over the place, what do I do next?

How hard do you think it would be for a half ton of moving body shell to snap those spacers?
