[Scorpion]

Okay, dumb question time. I've just spotted this on Ebay and was wondeing how or where do you fit it?

Here is the guys description:

NEW 2" BODY LIFT FOR A TOYOTA HILUX SURF

This kit is new and in its sealed packaging. Came from Milner Offroad.

I was intending to fit it to my Hilux Surf that I just sold so I no longer need it.

This is a 2" Body Lift not a Lift kit. This will give you extra clearance for fitting bigger tyres ideal for offroading or trialing.

Also see my New Safari Snorkel that is advertise.

How can it be a 2" body lift but not a lift kit?

Explain please gentlemen.

[stormforce]

Milners only do a 1.5" bodylift according to the catalogue and thats the new catalogue just sent out.

[Scorpion]

So where does it fit Richard? Would you have to fit anything else apart from that kit? More importantly, is it worthwhile?

[stormforce]

If your wanting to fit bigger tyres or just have a bit more height and keep standard tyres then yea its worth while
It goes between the chasis and the body to lift the body a bit more from the chasis.
I have got a 4" lift on the breaker thats up for sale.2" bodylift,uprated springs and 2" spring spacers,rad drop brackets,steering damper and 4x +2" shocks
you will also need front bumper lift brackets which i forgot to take off of the front bumper when i sold it as well as the rad drop brackets which you may or may not need depending on what rad you got

[Scorpion]

Already got the uprated springs and suspension lift mate that's why I may be interested in this kit on Ebay. Does it take long to fit and do you know how much it is in the new Milners catalogue please?

[Scorpion]

Found it on their new site mate, it's £55 + vat. As you say they only quote 1.5" lift.

[stormforce]

It will take a couple of hours at the most i should think.Do the drivers side first tho.Undo all the mount bolts 5 each side but leave the bolts in place tho.Slacken the bolts on the steering column 2 under the bonnet and 1 under the dash to allow the steering column to adjust its self. Have a couple of jacks to lift the drivers side of the body just enough to remove the old spacers and fit the new spacers,then lower the jacks and put the bolts through then do the same on the passenger side then do all the bolts up. You will also need to slacken off the fuel filler pipe which is accessed via a panel in the wheel arch but remember to do it up again after

[KERRSURF]

I would ask him to measure one of the blocks, I think thats a 1.5" kit.

[KERRSURF]

Don't slacken the fuel filler pipe if you don't have to, it can be a dog to get back on, it's corrugated so let it stretch, just keep an eye on it.

[Scorpion]

Thanks for the advice Richard.

Cheers Alan, I think it may pay to contact him to confirm the size.

With milners 1.5 spacers you should'nt have to cut any metal out round the hi/lo shift lever, i had to on a 2" lift tho, not a big job, and dont forget to unclip the rubber shrouds between the front inner wings and chassi, when they go "ping" as your gingerly jacking up the body it tends to make one $hit one's self, and just keep an eye on the break lines at the front as it goes up, their coiled so not a prob but worth a look as your jacking, and go round a few times with the old WD40 on the bolt nuts a week before you start, saves a lot of knuckle bashing, this is a lot easier with two people but if i can do it on me jack so anyone can
