Getting ready to lift, a few last questions.

[Earth1]

I'll be installing a 3" BL, and doing the JGC coil swap/Tbar lift as soon as I get the missing parts from my kit. I'm not going to relocate anything, just want to lengthen hoses, etc. I'd like to get everything I need together, since I only have the workspace for the weekend. Just wanted to know if there is anything I'll need that doesn't come with the kit besides:

-longer radiator hose: Any longer hose, same diameter?

-fuel filter line about 2'x5/16": Rubber fuel line?

-power steering line, 7/16" or 9/16": Either size? How long?

-fuel vapor vacuum hose: What size/length? Rubber?

-power steering fluid\coolant

BTW, I have a 92 XE 4X 5speed. Please bare with me, this is quite a project for someone like me with limited experience. Thanks.

Hey Earth1,

let me know how it goes... I'm going to be doing one here in the next couple of weeks or so. First time for me also doing some this big...

 

Good Luck and make sure you get pictures to share with all of us..

Anybody? I'm doing the coils/tbars tomorrow, and the BL the next day (or 2). I would love to get some feedback before I start. I'll try to document this as well as possible, for the mechanicaly disabled. Maybe a little "Pathfinder Lifting For Dummies" write up in the future.

Hi there Earth1, I did a body lift last year on my 95 Terrano and it has been great. I only went up 50mm ( 2" ). I didn't have a "kit" so just made up some spacers and brought the longer bolts, etc. I don't know if your kit comes with new bumper mounts but I had to cut and weld the front one to lift the bumper, and just redrilled the rear. The plastic covers on the bolts under the carpet are a pain. they are impossible to get off intact. I just did the best I could and when I reinstalled them packed them with silcone. You may find that the transfer case lever may be a bit tight going into low range. There is also a loop around the drive shaft that needs to be removed and remounted. Watch the brake lines on the firewall. I had to remount the radiator shroud as it fouled on the fan. The air intake may need to be eased as well. Good luck.
