Hi all,
Don't have a lot of cash at my disposal. When I do will probably put in a 2 inch lift kit. Have a mainly stock 2013 D22 STR. Got bulbar, towbar, wound up the torsion bars a bit after installation of after market shocks (mechanic), bashplates and the usual external extras (lights, roofracks etc). Finding the back end a bit saggy especially under load when I go camping.
I'm thinking of packing in a 50mm block kit ($225 from http://www.4wd1.com/Navara-D22.htm similar prices all around) inbetween the stock leafs and the rear axle. The main reason is to provide a bit of extra lift in the tub and away from the top of the rear tyres, giving me a bit of extra flex room.
Questions - how easy is this to do, anyone with experience and what do I need to do (eg. jacking up the car, what to watch for etc)? Any reason not to do it (safety, negative driving effects)? The guy tells me to paint it black, not sure of road-worthiness afterwards.
Appreciate constructive comments. Cheers.
