BODY LIFT

Best to be done with a hoist although this can be completed with a jack and something to spread the load eg. timber under the sills.

Please note most of these mods are required for the 2" body lift only but use your own discrepancy if your car is in need of this mod for 1" body lift.

1. Check that the wheels are on the ground so there is no movement when relocating the body back down later.
2. Remove all trims on the A, B and C pillar to uncover the body mount bolts
   1. A pillar is located just near the accelerator pedal under a rubber grommet
   2. B is located under the carpet near the B pillar under a rubber grommet
   3. C is located under the carpet/behind the back seat under a rubber grommet
3. Remove rubber flaps on the inside of both front inner guards and remove both front inner splash guards.
4. Remove earth strap from the frame to body located in the left hand front inner guard.
5. 

5. Remove the inner guard from the left-hand rear to reveal the fuel filler neck.
6. Undo the screws holding the fuel filler to the body of the car located inside the fuel flap.
7. Remove the clips holding the fuel flap cable.
8. Unclip the A/C line around the alternator. To be refitted later after bending the bracket.

19. Remove tub liner if you have one fitted.
20. Always lift the cab first.
21. Support the cab with a hoist. Keep in mind the front of the cab will be heavier so remember to balance the weight properly as to avoid it falling or swaying.
22. Remove all body bolts from the cab – two in the front and 6 in the cab.
23. Remove the floating mount bracket on the frame under pillar B.
24. Lift the cab. Do it slowly and constantly check as you go.
25. Place the body back above the factory rubbers. Lower body back down. Locate and start all placing the bolts back in but do not do them up tightly until they’re all in.
26. Lower the body fully and tighten all bolts.
27. 
    

• Flip the floating mount for pillar B upside down and place washers on top of the bolt to space down.

• Place the smaller two blocks at the front of the tub and the load block in the centres with the rubber pad on top.

Big Thanks to Jason Harris for assisting in the testing and development of this kit including the instructions. We are still developing the final parts to the 2" to make it a complete kit.
