Hello all!

 

Im brand new to the forum, and I have browsed around here pretty thoroughly. I have a 1990 Loyale Wagon and I'm interested in lifting it.

 

I read almost every post I could find about it, but nothing too in depth.

 

Im just curious, where can I get a lift kit?

 

What all is involved in building one? Im a certified welder/fabricator, so building the kit wouldnt be too much of a hassle.

 

Thank you for ANY input, I appreciate it!

 

Great site, keep up the good work!!!

Welcome.

 

The STICKY at the top of the Off Road Forum has a few options for you.

 

Ahh, I had been browsing before I logged on for the first time. NOW that Im online I see that.

 

Sorry for the lame post!! But hopefully I can get my '90 in the air and post up some info/pics!

 

Thanks!!

Sorry for the lame post!!

 

Not so lame, the info does not cover all situations.

 

For example:

1) a 6" block is about the maximum without getting into a hand brake cable nightmare.

2) a 6" lift requires a 5 1/2 steering extension

3) the rear shifter mount becomes VERY important to be able to shift the thing after a lift (almost count on a new one, or drill the old one for a nut and bolt)

4) longer rear flexible brake lines can be "difficult" to find

5) the exhaust poses it's own little nightmare

6) while here you can pick up an additional inch in the suspension (in the strut mounts)

7) watch your strut offset

8) you can lengthen the front lower control arms (to get your camber under control) about an inch (maximum) before you run out of axle length.

first decide how much lift you want

 

2" , 4" ,or 6"

its basically just blocks, the only tricky part is the front strut towers need to keep the correct camber, with your skills and our help you can do it yourself
