Totally agree with that!brumbyrunner wrote:They do look better lifted and the higher the better. It's just a shame about our strict roadworthy laws.
Rumbl1n, there's nothing wrong with longer bolts - once again, just so long as the blocks are properly braced and the correct tension is used there shouldn't be an issue. There are many lifted vehicles that use long bolts successfully without issues.
Your brumby is looking good though and I'm sure you'll love its new capabilities offroad, especially once you go for larger tyres!

I agree i guess it just comes down to personal preference at the end of the day there is many different ways i have seen subaru's lifted all look safe that one on gumtree just looked a little to corroded for me was saying the style of the lift was unsafe sorry if it seemed i was taking the mickyEl_Freddo wrote:Totally agree with that!

Nah mate I didn't think you were taking the micky, just know that they are safe to use, but if one is severely corroded on the blocks or the body mount points then you have to think twice about using and/or buying a vehicle in that condition.Rumbl1n wrote:I agree i guess it just comes down to personal preference at the end of the day there is many different ways i have seen subaru's lifted all look safe that one on gumtree just looked a little to corroded for me was saying the style of the lift was unsafe sorry if it seemed i was taking the micky
You're also right about personal preference! At least you came to that on your own without a thread about the two or three options asking for experiences with each where the discussion settles on one option only then to have the OP go with the talked down one anyway because that's what they wanted in the first place!
Keep up the good work!

Been following this thread with interest , normally I am an "as brochure" sort of bloke and keep my trucks stock standard.(probably because I am not the best mechanic in the world) But I must admit I do like the look of that
. Where was that laser cut kit advertised ? I am sure a few other MVBrumbyBRAT owners would enjoy reading about your mods so please feel free to start a thread on our forum too. "MO"

Hey guys i went camping the other week an with the dirtbike and the camping gear the ute was sitting really low.
so my next mod is to put airbags under the back my dad has a pair that came off his one tonner so im hoping we can mount them where the rear diff stops are located (because of the 4" lift there is quiet alot of room under there)
let me know what you think

I've looked into this on my L series. I'm going to make a plate that mounts from the swing arm closer to the diff so that the air bag is located in line with the chassis rail above. I might have to re-route some lines associated with the fuel tank but I'm ok with that.Rumbl1n wrote:so my next mod is to put airbags under the back my dad has a pair that came off his one tonner so im hoping we can mount them where the rear diff stops are located (because of the 4" lift there is quiet alot of room under there)

The air bags I've got to play with have been donated from Tweety and are like these:

I've got to make up a top and bottom bracket to fit it in then run the air lines to a suitable point to air up and down as needed. I think it should be a sweet setup once completed!

ahh air bags would be great. what would you do for a compressor? i have seen a few mates turn there aircon pumps into air compressors that work quite well and can turn them on and off on the run, one mate has a old 20L gas bottle under his back seat for a storage tank.. works great and i hear its easy to do.

You don't need an on-board compressor for air bags. You use a valve setup like a tyre to pump each airbag up to the same pressure once the suspension is raised to the desire level.Mitchhsj wrote:ahh air bags would be great. what would you do for a compressor?
If you have a set of air bags that are continually being adjusted you'll need an onboard compressor. But that's not the case for us.
It's something I'd like to do. Just search for endless air. Problem for me is lack of room!Mitchhsj wrote:i have seen a few mates turn there aircon pumps into air compressors that work quite well and can turn them on and off on the run, one mate has a old 20L gas bottle under his back seat for a storage tank.. works great and i hear its easy to do.
