Just found this

Could there be any foreseeable problems with installing this lift? It has a diff drob kit so would reduce the chance of worn CVs.

Before the fun police get onto this YES I know it would need a engineers certificate before it beeing deemed legal.

cheers

One of the forum members, Chase.rawling, has installed this gear I believe and followed this up with 285/70(or 75)R17s:
Fitting 285 or 33 inch tyres

Re: 4 inch lift????Anyone???

Looking at the photos in the link (first post) and comparing body lines to wheels i reckon the rear lift would be around 4 inches, but the front doesnt look any different to my 2" lift. The photo above looks higher in the front than the one in the link? or maybe i just need glasses :shock:

A couple of rear coils spacers and 40PSI in the air bags and i to could have a 4" lift to.

Well off topic I know but a couple of years ago I was going to a Parents/Guardians meeting at #1 son's school. The school was just around the corner from work so the idea was to stay a bit later than usual and then drive up to the school. On the way I realised I was a bit peckish so I drove through the local Maccas. Got to the ordering window and perused the offerings. Then told the startled teenager that I couldn't do it and drove out empty handed! Turns out said teenager was the son of a friend (I didn't recognise him in his costume) and he recognised me and told his mum all about it by the time I arrived at the meeting!

Could always get a 6 inch lift from the US of A for a FJ Cruiser and cut your Crossmembers etc and fit it.





This of course improves your suspension travel over a 3 inches lift by a whopping 0 inches!! Only benefit is you can fit bigger tyres - a modification for "poser" 4x4s.

Re: 4 inch lift????Anyone???

Well just devised a lift kit to give me an extra 4 inches of lift, this is ontop of my existing 2 inch lift for a total of 6 inches of lift :shock:

Having just removed a wall in the house and placed a 300mm x100mm oregan beam in to support the roof i had 1.5m left, so i decided a set of mini ramps would be a good use for it. I have 1 set of normal ramps but this only lifts one end of the car when underneath, with no ramps its a tight squeeze when using my creepy crawly. With the 4 inch lift though it is now ideal for working under the Prado.

Total cost, zero dollars cause i used a left over piece of timber and i got the original beam for free in the first place total time involved, about 10 minutes work

Diff clearance and ramp over angles are brilliant now :wink:

Hi Andrew
You might want to get your wheels balanced as soon as posible after the new lift kit to increase your tyre life. :lol:

Do a search mate an you'll find info for either the 4" Superior Engineering kit or read Steve's 8608 rig build up thread.

4 inch lift eh? One way of keeping the missus out of the car I suppose, she's already complaining about climbing over the steel sliders with a 2 inch lift.
