Phizinza Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm putting a 5 sp into an EA81 body. I'll be doing a 2" lift. I was thinking of just adding the 2" into the customised crossmember instead of putting spacer blocks in. The issue may be, that the radius rods will be at more angle. Could this work? Has anyone tried it before? Too much wear on the rubber joints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Don't the radius rods also get a 2" block if your doing a full crossmember drop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOONGA Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yes you can make a custom crossmember with the lift incorperated but You need to put 2 inch blocks under the radius plates. as well as all the other normal lift spots otherwise you will need to stock up on CV shafts.

Scott in Bellingham Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 You can do 1" at the radius/ tranny mount on a 2" lift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Thanks Scott, so 1 inch difference tops? Toonga, why would I make the crossmember drop the gearbox and than drop the plates which hold the radius rods and gearbox crossmember as well? Yes Uberoo, with a conventional lift that is the case, but I'm thinking of just dropping the gearbox with the crossmember which will need to be modified anyhow, leaving the plates that it mounts to firmly against the body. My concern is the angle of the radius rod rubbers and the extra twist it will cause on the control arm rubbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
