G'day everyone just thought I would drop a line about body lift for ford courier.
I have just finished lifting mine up 2 inches,no major problems only had to move
the gear shift boot,radiator shroud and the bull bar everything else is fine.
Looks great and protects my seals.

G'day I wanted to put 33" muddies on, so it was mainly for guard clearance.As for brake/fuel lines no problems there

hi rickster, thanks for the info. an easy way for more clearance, on a rodeo its a bit more complicated, radiator, front bumper, brake lines etc. i run 32's with no probs but a lot of suspension work. regards peter.

Hi rickster, any picks? I am doing my Raider in a week or so. The blocks I'm going to use are 50mm x 60mm. Can you see any problem with the extra 10mm width?
