cohen Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I need some pics of the engine compartment with only a 3" body lift: -the "pipes" (I wouldn't call them hoses b/c they are stiff?) that are up against the firewall. -the "pipes" going out of the engine compartment (passenger side) -then the driver's side where the pipes connect to the master clutch cylinder, smog lines, and brake lines. I'm putting a body lift on tuesday and I'm just curious to how every1 else is doing it b/c I don't want to break one of mine by hoping that they just expand when I jack the body up...or do they just expand? ps: when you have to extend the steering shaft. you "tap it out" and pull it so it goes back into the steering box at the front on the car. correct?? :help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Nguyen Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I have some pictures on my cardomain link of when i did my body lift. The hardlines you are referring to are the brake lines and the vent line for the charcoal canister from the gas tank. I suggest you the spray the poop out of all the bolts and the steering shaft with some PB Blaster. Do one side at a time and lift slowly. You'll probably have to "stretch" the front hard brake lines. There's enough slack from the coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohen Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 yea I thought there would be b/c of the coils, but wanted to make sure. What about the big one that has 2 braces?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cohen Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 (edited) nvm I just looked at it a little bit ago. it has a rubber hose at the driver side end and has enough slack. 1 more thing tho -the bottom of the 4 "pipes" has a rubber hose on it i don't know what it goes to but it's already tight so I need a new one of them. I think I remember reading from another thread that its 3/8. do you remember replacing that? Edited July 3, 2006 by cohen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Just unclip the lines, take them all off the fenderwells and let them hang. That's how you do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
