Hi GUys
Im doing my body lift on 300tdi in the next few days, just trying to think of ALL posible issues. (apart from rusty nuts oo er)
iv currently got a 2" suspension lift but 33" tyres hence the lift.
so what iv thought of so far are;
1 - front brake lines need to change from +40mm to +100MM
2 - does the back one need the change from 40mm as it doesnt flex as much in the up down motion.
3 - bumpers will obv need re doing, back one isnt an issue as i made it, front is a winch buper, how have people changed theirs.
4 - boot floor supports, i didnt get these in the kit i got, has any body used anything else?
5 - steering - theres enough play once loosened so iv heard.
6 - rad mounts - got
7 - rear seat belts - easy enough had them out to do boot floor
8 - what about cabling, is there any to worry about?
9 - anything else
Edit
Gear lever mounts, however i dont think these are necessary and could easily be cut and welded
2 mounts i for got about are at the back of the gear / transfer box, they undo easily, BUT for love nor money can i get the pin out to extend them so thats a WIP for me.
floor mounts im making from some 50mm box section.
my rear bumper is custom anyway so need to tweek that abit.
front bumper also needs moving up, thinking about welding 6mm angle to top of chassis and replacing the holes
steering linkage may need to be changed if its a round bar.
