Hay fellas

Done abit of research with the seaech button but havent seem to find what im after

Have many people done a 1inch body lift?

Whats different to the 2inch body lift ie do still have to extend everything like you have to on
The 2inch body lift!

Ive seen on ebay there is a 1inch kit just wondering if anyone has used.this one before

Cheers any feedback would be awsome

there is a heap of mods required for both

if you start at the start of the car, under the hood there is more then a fair share

bulbar, side steeps, scrub bars, radiator, intercooler, elect, cables, steering?, break lines, gear shifter, ect.

there is no sought some i missed, some only require tweaking but others brackets bigger holes cut,
farting is alot like jxxxxxg off. both provide instant gratification, but neither is a long term solution to the actual problem......................

Just go with the VMN 2" body lift. Comes with pretty much everything you need. I had to extend steering shaft, extend air intake, tweak brake lines and use VMN radiator drop brackets. Was easy to install and he provides some clear instructions with the kit. I also had to trim around low range gear lever with the 2" body lift. Loving the shorter gearsticks but!

1" bodylift was relatively easy to install.

I disconnected the fuel filter from its bracket in the engine bay, the air intake tube from air filter, loosened the steering shaft slip yoke and did one side at a time.

When completed I then adjusted the steering yoke halfway between both steering shafts and retightened with loctite in the threads.

Then reinstalled the other items.

Some vehicles you can get away with not dropping the radiator but when under load/torque in low range, the engine flex can cause the fan to clip the lower fan shroud.

Hope that helps.

Hello, please i need to know, in your opinion how much it can change in driving and in reactions with a 1 "body lift. I already have a suspension lift of 2". Tires 265/70/17 and rims off set + 20. / 8 ". I'm particularly worried about driving on the road.
Thanks for the advice
Excuse me for the bad English

Hi Nicola. Lifting the body will increase body roll.
It will have an affect on high speed manoeuvres / evasive swerving/turning on highways.
Is it legal to lift the body in Italy?

Thanks Deadly Beast.
I imagined ... but I do not know if only one "can affect a lot? In Italy it is not allowed, not even suspension lift :roll:
Good Day!
