You can also do a 2" raise if it's just the outriggers you need to get to.

Is it me but why the hell do you want to take the body off in the middle of the year ?

Shirly that's a nice winter job to be done at your leisure not when its roof off weather yes


All IMHO smile

Nah, but I could update it and claim the credit hehe

I've done one on the 2" raise but it's heavily based on Antony's excellent work.

:scratchin:I am intending to start a week on Saturday. The passenger side outrigger is shot and I have decided that a complete chassis refurb is the only answer. I want to limit the scope of the work to the chassis as far as possible, but will replace items that are obvious, such as bushes, engine mounts, brake pipes, petrol pipes, whilst doing the work. I am hoping to limit the duration of the work so that I can enjoy some of the summer and limit costs. What items are considered essential when doing a bodyoff. Is their anyone local to me that has done this that would be willing to discuss the impending joys.

Diff bushes, handbrake cable,engine mounts ,to be honest pretty much anything that is easier to get at whilst the body is off.

Mine should be finished in next week or so, I cannot wait !!!!!!
