bolt length for body lift

Recommended Posts

Okay, so Performance Accessories has body lift kits for 1990 and earlier...

A.C. modifies those kits for '93 to '95

 

The cost is over Can$200

 

I can go to "North Shore Off Road" and get the spacer blocks to make my own lift for $5 each, and I can get metric grade 5 bolts from Pacific Fasteners in Burnaby...

 

The only thing I need to know is the specs on the bolts for a 2" lift, ie: length, diameter, and thread pitch.

.

 

Anyone?.... anyone?...

 

failing that I'll use grade 5 or 8 redi-rod and jam nuts (thread pitch?)

Measure the stock and add whatever height you're going to add...i also bet in the end its cheaper to buy the BL....go with ruggedrocksoffroad.com and the 3" lift and u'll be good...

Factory installed bolts are 100 mm length. Simply add "your spacer block height" to this length - for example, with 2" (51 mm) required bolt length will be 150 mm.

All 10 bolts are metric. 8 bolts (front body mounting points) - M10x1.25, 2 bolts (rearmost mount point) - M12x1.25 for 1990-95, or M10x1.25 for 1987-1990.

Awesome, thanks for the specs. I've already called to check a supplier. In Vancouver area (Burnaby) it looks like they will have what I need. I don't know if they have a minimum order, but I will post details and price when I get the info.

Cheers,

Go talk to the guys at Jeep Thrills, they're highly recommended on most local forums and I have no doubt they could help you out with whatever questions troubles you have if you make your own lift. Never personally dealt with them, but know a few people who have.
