50mm body lift

[NH-Mark]

When doing a 50mm body lift on an NH LWB, does it make any difference if the lift blocks go above or below the factory rubber spacer? Or is it removed?

I'm thinking above, but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

Thanks

The first thing that Came to my mind will be that you will need take them OFF Havn't done a body lift myself but would think that it will need to come off as they give you longer Bolts also with the Kit, but then this is only a guess.

One way you can check to see is to measure how big the Lifting Block is in Height and see if it's only 50MM long or If it's Longer that 50MM to accomidate for the Standard Lift size aswell.

When I raised my suspension, (40mm Lift) the Front brake lines not sure about the back ones were starting to get abit tight. You might want to check this out aswell when you have done your Body Lift and see if you have enough clearence.

Figured it out. The rubbers stay on and the blocks go above them. it became obvious once I unbolted everything and jacked it up.

All up, quite easy to do. took about 3.5 hours by myself.

word of advice to anyone about to do this, don't do it in a low ceiling carport/garage

Hi Mark,,

Would you mind posting a before and after photo? I wouldn't mind seeing the difference, I'm considering the same with mine.
Thanks mate

remember! performing a "body lift" requires an engineers certificate. Also your insurance company will increase your policy when you notify them (if you don't and you try to make a claim it will most likely be rejected). And if you don't get a recognised engineers certificate you will not be able to get a roadworthy certificate.
body lift looks great! but make sure you do it properly

I know about the engineers cert. the paj is currently off the road/unreg while i do the engine conversion. i'll get it all certified at the same time.

i didn't take any photos befor the lift. if i find my old digi camera i'll take some after shots. all i need now is some larger wheels to fill the arches
