Yet a nother lifted rig

Brumby Boy · Post by **Brumby Boy** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 11:17 pm

Ok ok i know this has been asked a million times, but who makes a 3" lift kit easly available in aus? the reason being, my bros mate has a targa top brumby (im so jelous) and has seen different lifted rigs on here and now has asked me to lift his.
as my car has a 2 inch kit and i have tryed it out i wish at times i had a 3 inch kit so that is what i have recomended to him. now i just need to find one.
Scorpion only make a 2" kit that i can see. do Ausubaru/byb make a 3" kit? and at what cost.

Also as this will be my first lift fitting are there any things that i may run into that i should be prepared for as i realy need to get it done in a weekend.

Thanks in advance for your help
and sorry for repetivly asking q's

You have no drama's mate. They are easy as to fit just basically unbolt everything and put in blocks bolt up again with new bolts. If you need a hand give me a yell.

BYB in Aus used to price the 3" at around $350 to $400 if IIRC.

I doubt that they are crap , just that the owners of this board build lift kits.

ok, i know its been months but he finaly got the kit, He went with the 3" hi rise kit. went in no dramas and certinaly looks the goods.

we are haven trouble with the LHF cv roll pin. its stuck good and proper we have broken one punch and bent 3 others including a 20 dollar one, but it is moving so fingers crossed.

once all thats done all he has to do is wait 6 weeks for the tyres he wants and then come and play with me and matt in the mud...
yay another lifted rig to play with

I *think* they still sell them although one would wonder as information and responses have always been very hard to come by. They used to have some sketchy information here http://www.thebackyardboys.com/
But it hasn't been working for ages... theres some kind of online shop there now but it's just got a 14" wheel for sale and some Tshirts for $0. Says call back soon anyways.

As far as I know they still make lift kits but are always very backed up with orders....but who really knows.
