Product Information

A 3" bodylift kit, comprising of -

8x 3" high aluminium spacer blocks

6x 3" Sleeve Bolts with washers

2x Extra Long Bolts with washers and spring washers for under the headlights

Showing the internally threaded sleeve bolt

With one of the sleeve bolts out of the spacer blocks, you can see how the are smooth on the outside, and have an internal thread, so that they are inserted up through the original rubber bush, though the hole in the chassis, up through the spacer block and then fit over the body mounting stud. A simple but effective method!

The spacer block under the headlights... excuse the mud, these were taken of my own Vitara ;)

The blocl just above the chassis end of the rear trailing arm.

The block just above the chassis end of the rear trailing arm... you can see how the sleeve bolt and big washer fit perfectly back with the original rubber :D

NOTE that with this kit (and most others on the market) if you want to retain your existing bumpers you'll have to make some small brackets to raise them up 3" to match the new body height - as the bumpers will still be attached to the chassis and hence 3" lower! ;) We assume most people fitting a body lift will be fitting a winch bumper anyway? ;)

ALSO NOTE (again, the same with most other kits on the market) you will need to lengthen and/or adjust your gear stick lever and your transfer stick levers to compensate for the lift. AND you may have to lengthen the steering shaft between the engine bulkhead and the steering box - you'll find some here.

We'd rather you know this up front, and that you are prepared and competent enough to carry out the above tasks! ;)

Body Lifts are a little more complicated than suspension lifts which - to the most part - are bolt-on. Saying that, this bodylift is simple and bolt-on! It's just the consequences of fitting it that are complicated! You'll also have to make sure when raising the body off the chassis to get the blocks in, that all the wires, tubes, brake pipes, fuel filler pipe, gear stick, transfer stick, and steering-box shafts have enough play in them to safely lift the body up, and back down again. You also need to make sure you do it in a safe manner, preferably with a friend to help... (take the blame!)
