bolt specs for body lift

[haven]

still need the mu as my daily so cant afford to pull out one side of the bolts to check threads....

does anyone know the specs for the bolts so i can order longer ones to do my 2" body lift??

cheers

For a 2inch lift you need....

6 x 160mm x 10mm Grade 8.8 High tensile bolts.
4 x 140mm x 10mm x 1.25 pitch Grade 8.8 High tensile bolts.
6 x Lock nuts.
And sutable washers.

The 140mm x 10mm x 1.25 will be the fun ones to find and they probably won't be cheap. These four go in the rear 4 captured nuts in the body.

I think there is a guide in the FAQ section on how to do a body lift. If not I have a file on how to do a 3 inch lift wich is the same principal with an added extra or 2. Yell out and I send it to you....

Trademe in NZ has them as well, the Ebay ones are alloy, I have only ever seen rubber ones, is there any drawback to alloy vs rubber?

I've heard some NZ certifiers prefer the alloy blocks.

I went alloy as the price wasn't too much more, I also trust them more than the 'plastic' ones.
