Welcome Tommo

Best read the thread currently is discussion.

the cheap bodylifts on ebay are poop

I have this and is great

Handling wise shouldn't make much difference. I have an external cage and so its heavy.

Transfer box lever will want bending slightly.

bending? lol

Lots of heat, or cut and weld.

thanks for the help, I dont know my way round the forum yet


what would you recomend, it 2" big enough or would you say more lol?

i read alot of the topic but im still confused lol

the higher you go the worse it gets?

what would you recomend, the optimum lift, best looking with the least hasle?
