Fitting a 2"(50mm)or 3"(75mm) lift.
If you got a set of longer brake hoses fit them first this is only with the 3"lift, not needed on the 2" lift.
You will need to fit some rear shock brackets, If you think you need them you can also fit a set of caster correction + adjustable pan-hard rods.
Next (WD 40) all the nuts and bolts on the shocks for about 2 days before starting.
Start with the rear first axle,undo the wheel nuts a little,then jack up on the axle or the chassis on both sides and lower on to axle stands as near to the radius arms as possible , so the tyres are about 2" off the ground,now remove the wheels.
Next place the trolley jack in the middle of the rear axle, jack it up so you can remove the nuts+bolts from the shocks.
Next lower the axle down keeping an eye on the brake pipe,(don't over stretch it if you are fitting the 2" lift.) next remove the old springs+shocks, you might need a mate to help you fit the new springs+shocks back on, or as l did a length of wood just to lever the axle down a little to get the new springs on.
Now do the the front the same way as the back, you will need to undo two bolts on the anti roll-bar.
If you need the axles to drop a little more you will need to remove one of the panhard rod bolts.
When your finished CHECK all the nuts +bolts+ wheel nuts are tight.
Hope this helps.
