aprroximate labour time to fit lift kit? Simple?

Ah cool, newcastle/middlesbro not far at all, thought there would be nobody up here! yeh wen ive installed the 1000's your welcome to see what there like.

Penshaw! even closer! Im always up herrington park with the dog so will have to look out for ya, mines dark red over silver, will put some pics up when i start adding bits.


As for the brakes, i went with llama, £50 delivered was by far the best price and he is super helpfull on the phone, think ill price up getting them fitted locally, cant imagine they would charge too much..

Oh, if it fit the lift kit first, can i drive it onroad ok with standard lenghts until there fitted?


Correction bushes will come after the lift is installed, gonna see what its like first, ran out of money for panhard rods for now lol! Are they badly needed straight away?


cheers for the help, gaz.

the park is literally 2mins from me, i take my dog up there as well so will keep an eye out, i've got a yellow lab in case ya see me out walking

yeah Gaz, the guy at llama is sound and the prices are excellent.

I fitted a 2" lift and the standard brake hoses were fine on the road before I got the longer ones fitted. You'll need to get them sorted before you go off tarmac though.

I used to be worried about bleeding the brakes but i've had to replace the wheel cylinder twice. Don't fanny about with an eezibleed thing or a mate helping. A mechanic friend of mine told me the simplest way, undo the the nipple and leave it, it'll bleed itself. I've done this a few times and only had to pump the pedal myself until it was hard then repeat. Be careful not to over tighten the nipple though, i was a bit hamfisted with mine hence the 2 replacements!

Yeh thats what im most bothered about to be honest, those bloody bleed nipples!



yeh ill look out for ya in the park mate, ive got a lil patterdale thing black and white but the jimny will be there aswell lol!

right, the lift kit....

Whats with all the metal sleeves? and the funny fork shape things?

Im guessing two sleeves in each shocker, in the bushes but theres about 5 with each one? Also those funny shape fork brackety type things lol, what they for?
