Precise1 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Holy bumper, Batman!! Did it come with a truck attached, or did you buy that later?? Most of us use 'kits' that are sold more or less complete with plastic spacers (high impact ABS or some such I'm guessing). Aluminum blocks should work just fine also. Would you like a link to the thread that covers most of the install?? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 that bumper will be fun to relocate...probably going to need some custom made parts...I started putting my OEM bumper back on the other day and after about 2 mins of looking at it I decided right now its not really worth it...

And the bar was on there when i bought it. I do ally. Steel welding and powdercoating at work so i can make what ever i want. The best thing is im 2ic with keys to the factory. Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe. So i think the falklift is in order for the lift. Sounds easier than the jacks. Lol but we have to have modification plates here for a lift. And no greater than 5o mm.

Precise1 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 The lift I just installed was 50mm and is just fine. The tallest 'standard' kit available here is 75mm so you aren't missing much. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 woudlnt it be a 50.8mm lift? I didnt actually measure the blocks but I don't know how technical they would be...a forklift may work depending on how slow you can raise the forks some move too fast and are too jerky and I think could cause some damage quicker than using some form of lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how great it is, but some of my buddies use some 1/4" thick square iron and a damn nice stick welder and make there own blocks. Just a thought, but yea, nice job, this might just help me in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
