4" lift on a JDM hdj61

[MARCIN]

We just finished installing the lift on Alne's truck (15 hours).
on top of the kit he opted for the u bolt reversal as well.
Here is the link for the kit again:

The truck is still on stock 31" tires, Alen is getting 35" next week, I will post pictures of that as soon as it happens.

Is anybody interested in his PTO winch with the factory long "bench like" bumper? Also any original suspension part, like springs, u-bolt plates, and shackles? I will post pics as soon he cleans all that stuff.

p.s. We both have pains in muscles we did not know existed...

Hi Marcin:

Just curious as to why it's an "HDJ61"? Does it have a 1HD-T swapped in under the hood?

 

[Fantom]

I'm interested in the PTO, not the bumper though.

 

[toynut]

what was the total cost to do that lift including labour ?

 

[kim]

I think Marcin mentioned that the kit was around 2000 bucks plus 2 x 15 hours of labour which is, well, a lot of beer I would assume.

 

[MARCIN]

Kim, well put, plus the 15 h realy cut into the time of drinking the beer as well, lol.
The total cost, including the lift kit with shackle reversal , u-bolt reversal kit (not part of teh lift kit), shipping, tax and brokage fees and 1 bottle of brake fluid, was just under $3K cnd. The secund time it would not take 15h.

Alen still did not get the 35"tires so I do not have the complete pics...
