monstaru Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 If your tube is thick walled, 3 inch would be OK.BUT, you might run into clearance issues with the fuel tank. Thats a pretty good design. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a first gen Brumby I believe. You could lift in a similar manner, but none of the dimensions are the same as an EA81/ 2nd gen. chassis The torsions tube on the 1st gen is the hard part. It's mounted diagonally, so it's not just a simple rectangle block/drop. You have to make an angled piece with a large hole to access one of the bolt. HighGuys Lifts makes an EA71 if your interested. PM me for info. Edited January 9, 2013 by Gloyale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack.13 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 yea i was going to measure everything off my car, the torsions tube sounds a bit hard but i think i should be able to do it. i will try to build it rather than buy one. and where would i get extended brake lines for the front. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack.13 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 besides extended brake lines what else do i need extended fuel lines? wiring? and any idea what size tyes will fit with a 6 inch lift and fender trimming thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
