hi, i am new to off roading and was wondering would it be easy for somebody who is just learning about this sort of thing to do and have only limited knowledge and how long would it take roughly ??
Also new to the site and think its brilliant
Thanks
Damian

hi :welcome2: youve got to be a good welder to do soa because you need to weld sadles onto the axel
i wouldnt do it myself.
if you realy feel you need a lift go lift springs or bigger tyers and virtual lift

Its do able, Bloody hard to get right, and bloody easy to get wrong.


And its not just a case of popping the springs ontop, as robbie said you have the saddles to weld on, also dont forget you will have to modify


Steering
Shocks (if you want good flex)
Brakes
Props
Possible rear bam bar



And you should get 6" of lift, but remember to be stable you need ATLEAST 3" extra width on each side.
