2'' or 1'' ??

[navdog_d40]

hey guys i was going to sell the navara and try and get a bit better offroad ute
but things been the way they are i may be keeping due to work is slowing up a bit ....

so im thinking ill do a 2'' suspension lift i no the navara is low in the front end im thinking ill need a little more than 2'' so i was thinking body lift there is a kit on ebay 1'' for about $160 or do u think i should do the 2'' body lift ?

some people reckon i should not do the body lift but its a easy way to gain a inch or so true?

im not really sure how to install iv seen a couple right ups on here but i don't no if i am game enough also how hard is it to get the bull bar up back to where it should be .

I'm not trying to stop you doing a body lift but you may not be aware that body lifts for vehicles fitted with air bags are illegal in Victoria (and your location says Vic), that's the only reason I haven't done one on mine yet.

Now you know you can make an informed choice...

I was going to do a 2" body lift as well with bigger rubber etc but if i do i then i have no insurance, if i was to not worry about insurance id get the 2"

I don't no y u would sell the d40 anyway I se u slander it's offroad ability everywhere but with the right pilot and a set 33s they will go f&@ing anywhere which my d40 an others I go wheeling with regularly do but in answer to ur question if ur Gunna do a body lift y do a 1 inch half ass job might aswell go 2 gives u plenty of room inside the guard an once u lift ur bullbar a heaps Betta approach angle plus 33s just kep everything bolt on when u adjust the bullbar design amount that allows u to drop it the 2 inchs if the shit hits the fan, body lift takes roughly 2 hours to installan 30 mins to remove and just keep your stock tyres I did a write up in the DIY section with full pics check it out

if you cant get the blocks out cut them out, there not going to be checking all the bolts are still in if youve rolled it/ been t boned.

also body lift is mod platable is some states so cant really see an issue with the airbags, as it doesnt do anything to the sensor, joys of living in qld i spose.

 

[ourd40]

Yes they are... BASTARDS. It wont look quite as nice as your ride but until its paid off it will do.

Lol… round of applause. All I've seen navdog do is complain about his Nav, but won't do any upgrades, just ask everyone about there's.
Novdog, you keep comparing your Nav to patrols and cruisers, I've had a 82 cruiser, 92 hilux, 94 patrol, 05 D22 and my D40 & I recon my 2 Nav's where the best. I've spent a lot of money on my D40, but I think it worth it.
So sell it, upgrade it what ever but stop complaining, if you what advice then fine just ask.

Oh and Boxy go easy on the 1" half ass stuff hey. I got the 30mm body lift of Zordo and I like it, I wouldn't go for the 2".

 

[LLadnar]

Oh and body lifts are legal in NSW, you just need certifying if anyone wonders.

found a 6"lifted frontier on clubfrontier.org with a 3"body lift on top of the 6" lift, looked awesome, and he didnt lift the bull bar either, he painted teeth in the gap, looks awesome.
