ok ok i'm sure this has been said and said again...... BUT, i just enlisted the help of a buddy of mine who is willing to build me a 6 inch lift... only thing is, he has NO idea how to do it... he's got one of those machines where you basically tell it what you want it to build, put in a block of metal and BAM out comes what you ordered.... so anyways, i am in need of plans and measurements for a lift.... anyone have some layin around they would be willing to help me out with? If this works out, I'm SURE i will be able to get him to produce these rather cheap, AKA, more lifts for those other people out there who dont have th time to build one or the money to buy a $1000 one!!! Come on, HELP ME HELP YOU!! ha ha:headbang:

Lifting the old way does not need such a thing, you need a chop saw, a welder, A drill, and some patience.

 

There is a pretty descriptive procedure here:

Specifically:

The later cars are different in the rear, same idea, just different.

 

The patience part involves scavenge hunts for metric bolts, if I need a bolt here I have to drive all the way across town to maybe get one, the threads are not "normal" North American metric, having a thread pitch of 1.25/mm, instead of 1.5/mm.

on the EA81 or EA82 types get yourself some rectangular tubing 2 x 6 x 1/4 for the EA81 2 x 5 x 1/4 for EA82 cut chunks 1-3/4 long drill holes and after the install run diaganal braces from one block to the other , the difficult spots will be the front strut towers , good luck, show us pictures as you bo along you can do it Scott (SJR)
