2WD Lift?!?

[wildthing]

ever thought about putting a 2" body lift instead?

[mbt]

aba galing niyan a... may downsides ba yung bolt-turning na yan?

[revo168]

Mga peeps, pwede bang i-lift ang 2WD? Gusto ko kse i-lift ng kaunti yung revo para mag kasya kahit mga 27" tires. Gusto ko lang kaunting lift sa harap lang, sa likod no problems kse leaf spring. Sa harap kse torsion bars. Meron ba kayong alam na shop na gumagawa nito? Thnaks!

revo168,

Torsion bars are very easy to lift. You just have to adjust the bolts at the back end of the torsion bars (halos katabi na ng transmission). Tighten to lift, loosen to lower. Just don't forget to get your wheels and headlamps realigned afterwards.

Heto po ang link on how to do it. Mitsubishi ang ginamit pero the principle is exactly the same:

ganun lang?? gano kalaki yung pwedeng mai-lift by adjusting the bolt?

[OTEP]

Sa Pajero sagad na ang two inches. Ganun din on most pick-up trucks.

revo168::: i recommend goodyear servitek! after your torsion crank, pa steering alignment ka coz gagalaw ang settings mo. :D

[kimpOy]

for me mas ok ang suspension lift, kasi anytime madaling ibalik sa stock ( i was told by sir freeman)

[pajerokid]

mbt::: the only disadvantage is that you have to spend a thousand bucks to realign the steering :D And i think limited lang yung height increase dun sa allowed ng bar crank (correct me if im wrong guys) :mrgreen:

[revo168]

Medyo sagad na yung torsion bars ng revo ko, eh! ano pa ba ang pwede para mai-lift yung harap? magkano ang body lift? saang shop gumugawa nito? Thanks again.

naku wag mong isagad ang torsion bar mo baka wala ka ng play, medyo stiff ang ride mo niyan, advisable lang ang 1 to 1.5 inch lift

as of now my strada is in the shop kasi po lambot na shocks ko, im gonna replace
it na sabay crank t bar at palit longer shackles

bale 1 inch suspension lift and 1 inch lift sa tires = 2 inches lift!
then bye bye stepboard!

saan ba yan level 3 na yan ah!

[wildthing]

informal quote ng body lift sa frontier is P7,000 all in na raw. 3" body lift iyun....medyo marami ang modifications like radiator location, steering box location, possible extension of the steering shaft to name a few.

A body lift lesser than that may all be what you need considering 27" diameter lang naman ang gusto mong i-fit. My 3" was intended for a 31" tires na pang safari patrol.

I don't know kung saan meron sa manila (may be Ratz, Ride or the other shop that vinj was refering to na nasa may sucat). The above quote was from a 4x4 shop/machine shop in Angeles Pamp. - ACME.

[revo168]

Salamat mga peeps. Iba nga naman ang 4x4 ano?!? Question ... stable ba ang sasakyan kahit naka body lift? Pwede bang palitan ng shock absorber yung revo na mas mahaba para sort of tumaas? Thansks again pipol!

[wildthing]

Stable??? depends kung gaano ka taas (have you seen an old fierra?) the taller it gets the higher the center of gravity so hindi siya "stable" compared to a vech with a lower center of gravity...

Are you going to corner Hard!?! kung mataas ang center of gravity mo at hindi malapad ang sasakyan mo, pede kang mag turn turtle.

From what I know the shock alone will do no good kasi shocks are dampen only the ride but wouldn't do the lift. The rear lift is usually attained by taller leafspring shackles. The front of an IFS vech is usually via modified A-Arm (check out www.fabtech.com or calmini.com). Hindi po available ito sa local rides natin

on 2wd torsion cranking - you can hardly get more than an inch as compared to a 4by. This is based on my adjusting Hiluxes and Frontiers - I expect the same from the REVO. I gave an Adventure a 3" Body Lift to accomodate 27 inchers - don't wanna do that again.

[jammer]

REVO168,
okay pa ang body lift compared sa suspension
lift ng revo, papangit lang ride mo. tried that in
isuzu highlander lalo lang pangit though ganda
tingnan pag nakapark. try lang namin yun kung
ano kakalabasan. kung gusto mo maglift mag4x4
ka na lang. mas okay pa. try asking katukayong
sir otep then sali ka sa group nila

[OTEP]

jammer,

Katukayo? Yehey, hindi na ako nag-iisa. :mrgreen:

[pajerokid]

wildthing::: hmmmm calmini? i think i overheard someone say that a certain samurai had a full calmini setup last sunday in the LC Club 4x4 Jamboree. I have no clue if this is true though :D sikat pala yon

[OTEP]

pajerokid,

Yup, sikat na Suzuki tuner ang Calmini. They vend their wares at SEMA every year.
