Body lift

Got rust? Seats, panels, doors, windows, etc. The old messages from the NPCA 'Body & Interior' category are here.

Body lift

Post by toughnut »

Has anyone done a 2 inch body lift on these. I'm sure its been done. I cant see any problems with it myself. I have some new Y60/61 factory rubber body mounts that I'm thinking about using on my MWB G60. It will lift the body about 2 inches. I'm thinking about using some suspension bump stops under the rear tub so it matches the give in the main body mounts. Wouldn't be good to put hard mounts under the tub with rubber mounts under the rest of the body.

Gear sticks look like they will clear. May need a little adjustment for the high/low shifter but the rest look like they won't need adjusting.

There is plenty of give in the brake and clutch lines for the lift and radiator hoses look like they will clear. I also have a new Y61 alloy radiator that I will see if it fits. Should be pretty close. I'm also thinking of a spring over conversion or possibly even some Y61 diffs with coils and the associated disc brake upgrade.

What do you guys think? I thought about keeping it standard but there is already a lot that has been changed and not very well either. It would almost be a similar amount of work to put it back to an acceptable standard.

Another consideration is the steering column where it goes through the firewall.
