Body Lifting

**cardo** · June 1st, 2005 10:10 AM

Ano pros and cons of having a body lift? Is it ok to have a 4x2 pick-up lifted? I replaced my wheels and tires and I'm getting major wheel rub(on tight turns) on the mud guards but also on the fender flare albiet only a small part of it. Whats the ideal lift? one shop says 3 inches after giving him my tire specs, others only recommended 2. Although I don't have plans for it right now(since it's relatively pricey). One shop suggested adjusting the torsion bar and adding shackles to the rear leafs but I think TB adjustment won't fix the front wheel rubbing...

yong fuego namin, pinabody lift, it was ok until 5 years later...

naputol ang shift stick -- there we found out that it was cut and welded, stock kasi would be shorter and it has to be bended pa!

what tire size nilagay mo? sa d-max ba yan? try to adjust torsion bar first and shave bump stops.

same rim size, 16's but malaki offset and bigger tires from 245/70 16 to 265/70 16.

whats the max lift increase ng torsion bar?

possible pa yung torsion bar crank up and shackles

kasi yung prado 90 ko dati nag palit ako ng masmalapad na tires nag rub sa mud guards full right and left turn...so nag lift ako ng 2 inch sa suspension palit ako ng coil springs...which nawala yung rubbing..

last option mo lang yung body lift...pangit kasi sa body lift lumilitaw yung chasis hehehe parang litaw skeleton

redhorse,

yan yun isa sa mga fears ko sa body lifting... yun may puputulin tas welding uli.

jeepcruizer... panget ba body lift hehehe kung may kit lang sana sa dmax hehehe. kaso wala sa 4x2 eh... nainspect ko yun fender and mud guards ko, ala na yun pintura ng fender hehehe... andun lang ngayon sa bahay nakatambay yun kotse di ko magamit hehe

one thing going for the body lift option is that you still retain the stock suspension settings of your vehicle.

it is also less expensive.

a friend of mine has a lot of experience doing suspension and body lifts but he has not done a dmax 4x2 yet.

hey guys,

ok lang kaya kung old man emu shocks palit sa harap then, extended shackles sa rear?

what you think?

diesoline,
saan yung kilala mong nagbobodylift?

try mo muna i-crank yung torsion bars and extend yung shackles. pag hindi kaya ng orig shocks mo, bago mo palitan. mahal rin kasi ang shocks e
