Lifted Prado

[BIG clean GREEN]

This is my Prado with 1.5" body lift (Now in correct forum)

 

[BIG clean GREEN]

Now with Ironman SL

Looks good

Did you measure what lift you actually got from the SL

 

[BIG clean GREEN]

I need to do it again once it's settled but it's around the 40mm mark, Ironman do state it's about 38mm ! What did you get ?

When you change your tyres? Now there seems to be room enough for some bigger ones...

38mm's a new one on me I thought 40mm is the stated lift by Ironman for the Collie

What did you get?

.........here's the measurements Now bear in mind that these were taken over two seperate days using my block paving as the flat level surface So not to British Standard then

NSF plus 44mm, OSF plus 58mm, NSR plus 53mm, OSR plus 62mm, centre front plus 52mm & centre rear plus 47mm

Looks as though ignoring block paving errors shes gone up about 50mm all round

Your body lift really does make a massive difference towards to look

Are you still thinking about fitting a set of 255/85/16 BFG KM2's

38mm's a new one on me

The only thig I can think of here is that 38mm is the direct conversion for 1½"... Well okay, 38.1!!!

BCG,

Please stop posting pictures of you truck! Its making me insanely jealous and I'm getting even more desperate to get my Ironman SL done.

I can just picture my truck once its had the lift - basically if you "de-blinged" your truck and never washed it again, it would look like the spitting image of mine.

I feel like a kid with a new toy, every time I walk towards it I grin to myself, even with the Std tyres on it looks good, so just imagine when I finally get the KM2s on

My SL may not be quite as much as yours Stephen due to it being a LWB

Chad, if you want to do the lift I'll be putting my spring compressor on e-bay shortly, I can't recommend them enough, ask anyone on here that's used them just how much simpler they are.

regards,
Nick.

Chad, I'm going to Chertsey at the end of April which is down your way in Londonshire somewhere, so could bring it down !!

Maybe But I think that this is more likely...........

The original springs fitted to Fiery must be sha***d

I've loaded her up today for a day @ my local P&P site Bures tomorrow (Sunday) & I've put it all in as I would like to have it Now I already know that all of my kit (HI-Lift, Waffles, Spade, Blocks of wood, Chain, Tools you get the picture all of my gear) weighs 120.85Kg my new storage box 22Kg & the coffin 15.6Kg roughly totaling 160Kg Is this alot of weight for a cruiser As I came in I looked back @ her & thought 'she looks low' So I got out me tape & she's droped 4cm on the back end from the figures above & gained 1cm on the front But worse than that she'a down hard on her bump stops @ the back end

Chad, I'm going to Chertsey........

Nick.

Thanks for that very kind offer Nick but as a "soft southerner", I'll probably take it down to Greg's.......

 

[BIG clean GREEN]

Chas, you'll get amazing satisfaction by doing it yourself ( or by getting uncle Chris to help you )

Nick.

 

[Gav Peter]

Swapping the suspension is no biggie once you get the right springs in the right corners...

Especially if you've got Uncle Nick on hand with the spring compressors!!! And yes, the self satisfaction once you have is awesome!!!

Go on, we double dare you!!!

Hi,

Where did you find the aislemiror to your left front wheel ?

 

[BIG clean GREEN]

It's a Japanese import, they all have them ! They're also useless, apart from checking your lights are on !!!

I've had to go and buy a 2" drop plate today for when I tow the caravan, whilst I was at it I tucked the electrics further up to avoid ripping them off again at Lincomb Etc.
