Having been a Patrol woman all my working life and having received Harpy the 120 Prado as my next tour vehicle, I find I'm lacking a little experience here and there, in terms of just what is possible and what extras may be needed.

I'm about to lift the Prado 75mm with new springs, struts and shocks and new adjustable control arms. I'm also doing the diff drop to ease the load on the poor old CVs. Is there anything else I'll need to do? I'm thinking sway bar extensions will be necessary- but is that so? Do I need brake lines extended or altered mounting points. Thanks Prado experts.

Found the info I needed in various places. Thanks.

What size tyre are you running? If larger diameter than standard, then you will need to get engineering compliance done when installing a 75mm lift.

No engineering compliance required in my case. But in any case I decided that it's more important for me to run Konis, and they are 50 mm so I'm back to 50mm.

If you lift over 75mm (shocks/ springs, and/or tires) it needs compliance in most states in Aust. It's a trap a lot fall into. say 60 mm lift and 25mm tire increase and bang, nonlegal and likely non-insured in event of an accident. 50mm suspension and 25 mm or less in tyre size increase will be fine as under 75mm overall.

Went for 50mm so I could stay with Konis
