    around 7k ang body lift kay filmars.

    I have to admit that my main goal for this is the aesthetics. Hindi naman 4x4 ang ride ko and hindi naman ako sasabak sa offroading. Yes, it will help me in crossing flooded roads, but almost all the roads in Marikina has been flood-free since BF became Mayor (Now run by his wife MCF). Besides, I was able to cross the worst floods in Marikina way back then with my stock height before. Basta, aesthetics lang talaga..wag nyo na ako pagtawanan.

    What are the cons of having a body lift? Minor lang naman...2" lang.

    I have a R15 with 227 tires nga pala. Dyou think it will match the lift or do I have to buy bigger tires?

    Thanks

    FYI, hindi po minor ang 2" body lifts. Maraming modifications din ang gagawin lalo na sa engine bay. Radiator mounts, hose, shroud, wirings. Pati na rin sa steering column kung ito ay sagad na sa allowable degrees or tension. Shifter will also have to be bent slightly para di bumitaw sa 1-3-5 or 2-4-R gears.

    Ungas,
    Thanks for the info. But this is the lift with the most minimal modifications right? I mean compared to the higher lifts eto na yung pinakamababa right?

    I texted filmars two days ago and they told me that this can be done in 2 days.

    I guess Filmars knows what they do naman di ba?

    Feedbacks please..

    Yup, alam ni Rod yan. Sanay na yun gumawa. MAgmumukhang maliit ang mga goma mo pagkatpos mo lift yan. You'll need 245s or even 255s para di magmukhang may polio L200 mo, hehehe.

    Usual body lifts are 1"- 2", minimal on the budget, pero sa parts modifications dipende sa sasakyan.

    tama si katotong afrasay,
    benta mo na lang iyan then kuha ka ng gen 1 strada or eagle na pickup 4x4 or fuego 4x4

    mas ok magkaroon ng wild ideas kapag naka 4x4 ka na.

    Alfred / Kimps,

    Basta dadagdagan ni pres Ungas eh..hehe.

    Kulang pa talaga ang budget ko. In a year or two pwede na siguro. Makakabili din ako ng 4x4. Yung kukuhanin ko yung, pinakagusto ko...yung tatagal and not just for the sake of having one (kasi ito ang mangyayari kung pipilitin ko bumili ngayon), like your safaris. Right now, I like the trooper. Baka two years from now mura na lang yun...

    ...besides, i'm saving up for a big event in my life...a big change...


    ...hehe hoy hindi ako magpapa-transplant ha..hehe

    Djerms,

    The body lift is cheap, but the aesthetics is not. After the body lift, you'll probably go for a bigger tire (31" would be nice in a 2" lift of an L200?)

    IMO a 1-1.5" lift (minsan kaya pa ng torsion bar crank and leaf-spring shackle replacement) should fit your existing tire size. You'll have you're needed lift with lesser gastos.
