It has probably been asked before, but search has found nothing for me on GV Body Lifts. (within Oz at least) I am looking to fit a 2" body lift to complimemt the calmini 2.5" suspension lift that will go in very soon!! But it seems Aussie 4x4 folks don't want to touch the subject!!!


So who has done it? who do you recommend and what is the difficulty rating of a body lift on a 99 GV?




Cheers


Dossy!!

[steak_knife]

mugwui has done it, i think he made his own,
How much did you pay for the calimini kit??


Steve

[zook37]

Less than a grand.

[steak_knife]

WHAT????????
dose that have control arms in it??

[zook37]

Yes. it's the full kit. I bought it from another contact (good mate) that bought it but then wrote off his GV before he had a chance to fit it, he now has a Hilux. The kit is 5 months old, but has never been fited to a vehicle!!!


He just wanted it gone, and I was in the right place at the right time!!!!!

[steak_knife]

well done then!

[zook37]

Believe me IO know How lucky I was!!! Now about this body lift?????

[steak_knife]

Let us know how the lift goes.

[zook37]

So we have established what I am!!!



Surely you cannot blame me for good luck!!!

[zook37]

The zook is off the road for a few months courtesy of a strut mount that has broken for the second time in 12 months. (no-one including the suspension provider can offer an explanation for that, but thats another story!!!)


But between the calmini lift and the body lift, I hope o have her back on the road by January. Sooner if possible. but if we have to pioneer some of this stuff, it is likely to take longer....

[steak_knife]

No i don`t mate, if you dont use the control arms give me a holler.
In bit`s for sale is some body lift kits, not for gv`s tho, just asked if or when he`ll do them.

The GV lift is the same as the Vit with one major difference, the steering column is vastly different requiring a large spacer. Nathan had his cut and shut but says a 25mm extension is what's required.

[Mugwui]

Hey Zook37,

Yes I have done it to my 99 GV so if you like, PM me and I'll go through it with you.
Check out "Humzuki" in Rigs of Auszookers.

Cheers Mate.

You can put a 1" body lift in it with no mods at all.

This is mine with 1" body lift, 2.5" Calmini, runnning 31" tyres (255/70 R16)





Or you could go this way

[ODA1]

Hay RIKSTR, just looked through rig & couldn`t find this 1, am currently looking at calimini kit`s, for a sq625 there is 2 different kit`s, just wondering what year your gv is & if you can rember the part no of the kit??

It was an 01, sold it a few years back and I can't remember what kit it had in it but I am fairly certain it was SK19800
