MK Triton Body Lift

Joined: 06 Apr 2008 Location: bris

Can anyone tell me how many bushes are needed for this lift? Its a 2001 MK Triton Dual cab 4x4 V6 Manual.

A lot of sites suggest 12 but after crawling around under the car i come up with at least 14.

And what happens with the 4 flat spacers between the tub and the chassis rail over the rear wheels? should they be bushed as well or no?

Anyone who's performed a body lift on this model i would really appreciate some advice and maybe a quick run through. I want to do it myself for the satisfaction but i'm sometimes "mechanically challenged"

Cheers, Mike.

no bushes required for a body lift buddy, just your blocks and bolts....

let the company your buying the body lift from know what vehicle its for and theyll let you know how many you need.

i have a triton ute MK and i needed 8 blocks in total for my 2inch body lift.

Sorry, we don't have many Triton members here, and I think those we do have don't drop in all that often

Have you tried http://www.newtriton.net ?

no ur prob. have found it is easier to do it yourself cause no one wants to. there are 14 mount points u also have to modify fan shroud and manipulate brake lines through the front guards and loosen the clamp on the firewall. as for the tray part dont no cause i havent done it yet trying to find time but no someone who has done it and will ask and get back to you

Thanks man. I appreciate the info. I've ordered 14 blocks which should be here Tuesday. Then I just gotta get some bolts from Bunnings and I'll tackle it next weekend.

Evening!

I think your Triton is our L200, which means you'll need 14 Blocks & longer bolts. With a 3" lift you'll need new brake lines etc etc You'll need to extend the fuel filler neck, radiator shroud will need adjusted & some of the radiator hoses need lengthening!

I lifted the tub in exactly the same way I lifted the body!
