body lift on a wizard

[stardog]

Just asking if any one has done a 2" body lift on a wizard and if they had any problems after doing it like selecting gears being a auto and brake lines dropping the radiator or other things.
And if a jackaroo- bighorn lift kit fits the wizard.

brake lines attach to the chassis not body. No issue there

The brother is planning on doing his 96 wizard in the next few weeks so ill let you know how we get on

[stardog]

How did your bro go with lifting his wizard any problems.

may be a tad late on this but doing a body lift on the wizard is a piece of piss, i had to undo the steering column slightly at the box to let it move about 1mm, theres some bracket things midway down the truck going from the body to chassis that need to be removed , and you may need to loosen off the gas tank filler hose.
gear selector doesnt like to go into park easily afterwards but you can adjust that under the truck easy as , and the 4wd selector can sometimes be a pain to hget into 4L, i just pulled the rubber boot up and it fixed that

The brackets underneath are the supports for the seatbelt mounts, so they need to be cut and welded to suit the bodylift

[stardog]

Sounds pretty easy except the cutting and welding part for the seat belts I haven't looked under the wizard how they are fitted have to have a look tomorrow.
Thanks Rob for pointing that out about it and hamdog with the thing about the gear sticks.

[Hamdog]

you sure they are for the seatbelts? i just took mine out and left them out, they looked more like a driveshaft loop since they were right by the driveshaft and one either side of it

[turnturn]

Yes, they are for the seat belts. I wonder if you could be failed a WOF if these have been welded?

[Hamdog]

well i havnt failed a wof without them at all , maybe i should put them back in if they are a safety thing
