body lift kits 3inch ?

[roy]

i see milners offer a 1.5 inch body lift kit for our cars,
however trawling the net and various forums it seems some people have installed a 3 inch body lift kit.

anyone know where it is from ?
or will they be custom made lift kits ?

are there any issues with doing a bodylift ?

cheers roy

I don't know anyone who's fitted a 3" lift to a Collie. Sounds a bit much to me. Milner do NOT do any other kit and no they won't make a special. Issue will be with the rag joint in the steering column and some brake lines etc. If you want to do a 3" lift, you could buy 2 x 1.5 " kits. You'll need to find some very long bolts though.

There is a full pictorial guide to fitting a lift kit available.

I'm with Chris on this - we battled on my 120 with the 40mm lift from Milners. Can't see the reason for a 3" lift other than coupling that to a suspension lift and going really mad on tyre sizes - but then you have much more of a problem than just the rag joint - cv's will stress as will uj's etc - you'll need to go with a diff drop kit I expect! And work on steering geometry solutions too ...
