SWB landcruiser Lift kit

any short wheel base well give you problemas on a 3 " lift diff angles need to be spot on . droping G/boxes and re weldind diff brackets is a must , Max lift withought this is probably 2 "Craigs hut 2003

Ive been researching this myself to do a ift on my MWB 73.If you go 3in you may be breaking the law as 2in is the new limit .Im not sure about all states but most new modifications rules are becoming nation wide. Now the cost for springs will set you back about $6-700 for bottom of the range,but Ive been told these are imported from SE Asia and can be rough riding.Some of the big names are incredibly expensive and I reckon they are overcharging to cover all the expensive advertising and franchising costs.I did find one company that proclaims to have all Australian BHP steel springs at $790 a set that will give you a 2in lift and a soft ride.(Dobinsons QLD) Note , all aftermarket springs will give you 2in . You will need $80 for the 8 U bolts,$50 for neoprene bushes(24),4x shockies $90+ ea.
Now on top of that you will need to decide on the type of shackle ,greasable or standard ,pins that go inside the bushes and rubber spacers that fit onto some of the supension /steering gear.
Providing your steering and other mechanicals are ok you wont have much change out of $1400 if you fit it yourself. On top of that you will need a wheel alignment at $50 and if you want someone to do it for you they all quoted $2-250 + gst

Does your 71 have coil or leaf? Never heard of an import 71, seen a 70 series Prado before (with coils i believe), hense the question.
PS i had an extra leaf put in my bj70 some years ago to lift it 2 inches, and it went anywhere. The short wheelbase doesnt need a large lift unless you want to fit bigger diameter tyres.
