- In this video I cover how to install a body lift in an n70 Hilux (2005 - 2015).
I found some of the instructions included in the kit I bought to be a little bit confusing so I tried to clarify everything here.

You could tell that you had one to many beers by the end of the vid 😂. Either way thanks for the help mate. Will hopefully be doing mine some time this weekend
Love your work mate! It's so hard to find in depth videos on these beasts. Keep it up, she looks mint!
Lachlan Cross thanks mate, appreciate the support
Legend! Ripper video, I'll give this a go in future!
Awesome vid, thanks for taking the effort to document this.
Shotm no worries thanks for the support !
Legend. Thanks for making the vid
No bs, just good info thanks!!!
That is a very handy brother to have
Good video man 👌🏼
Connor England thanks mate, appreciate the support
Hey mate love ya work, when u added the Xrox bar did u have to get mounts to suit the body lift? If so where did u find them? Cheers
Finally!!!
can you do a video where you go over everything that’s been done to your lux
jeffrey yeah mate I could probably arrange that in the near future
Hey man! Love the vid. Just wondering how you did the radiator drop because I can’t seem to understand brackets are installed. If you could send a picture of front and back of the brackets that would be great! Thanks mate!
hey bro did u work it out i'm stuck af rn??
Hey, Did you use the Engine Cover Spacer for the Intercooler? If not how are you finding it without?
Nah I didn't get the spacer for the intercooler but seems to be working fine without it. I haven't noticed any difference
Can you show or send me the link on how you fit a 285 tire?
Brother I love your LUX i have the same model. Can you let me know were you sourced your snorkel? I want to get one installed.
backstage101 hey mate cheers for watching, there’s a few places doing them but this one is from “fabulous fabrications” in rocklea
Hey mate.
Im just curious for what was your reason for doing a body lift, was it to give you more space for the 285's for scrubbing under compression or was it purely just a cosmetic thing?
Cheers
Yeah wanted to get clearance for the tyres without having to cut too much, I still need to do the body mount chop to get it working properly and get the full amount of flex possible
Lifting the cab 2 inches an paying like 600 was a better option then a little trimming of flares 🤪
Where you buy the kit
Hey mate I’ve got a kit for mine, how’d you go locating the rear cab mounts? I can’t feel any bolt from the inside under the rear seats of my extra cab, cheers
The bolts are actually further back, you need to pull out the plastic panel underneath the back rest of the rear seats and then there are small black plastic circle plugs that lift out and the bolts are under there
Too easy, thanks mate
Hey mate love the videos , what headlights are they?

Thanks mate, there just off eBay here’s the link

Hey man just wondering what lift you used on the vmn website as there are a few to choose
I used the 50mm one for a tray back extra cab mate, www.vmn.com.au/vmn-trayback-body-lift-kit-for-toyota-hilux-2005-2015-diesel.html
Hey, good vid, what have you done for underbody protection. Can't find anything!!!
Cheers! Nothing really, just the sliders but I like the look of the phat bars bash plates maybe one day I’ll grab a set
Hey mate looking to get rid of my bar and go back to a bumper, is that just a factory one you've got there
Remy Bramaryz1 yeah it’s actually an sr5 bumper off a 2010. Mines an 06 sr i just had to make a couple of extra holes in it along the top but apart from that it all lines up
Hey mate how did you adjust the mount for your bumper/bullbar? Do you habe a picture?
Hey mate I had a facelift bumper on mine and I just cut the bottom mounts off so it was held on by the top mounts and zip tied at the bottom so it didn’t rattle
@@RyvalCreative thats the xrox bar right?
I have a xrox now yeah but when I made this video I just had a bumper
Update on the body lift? Any dramas so far with the cops?
dont fall asleep while your talkin
Hey man. Are you from QLD. If so how did u legalise the body lift or are you just running it illegal. Because I want to do one but with all the new fuss happening at the moment idk.
Hayden Lees hey mate I am in QLD, there’s a couple of ways to have it legal you can either have a combination of 2” body 2” sus and 2” wheel diameter increase. but only two of those, you can’t have all three.
Or you can have all three with a mod plate and what you can get mod plated really depends on who you know as some will do a max of 2” body 2” sus with 285’s and others will mod plate bigger lifts and tyres.
Battlers Club oh righto. What do u have on your car and did u have to get it mod plated
Hayden Lees I have 2.5” sus 2” body and 285’s but it’s not mod plated at the moment so I’d be in trouble if I got pulled over
Oh righto. Yeh its a bit annoying in qld because i was going to do the same but yeah idk with all the fuss at the moment
How hard was it to do the steering extension. As this is the only bit I’m worried about doing
Hayden Lees not hard mate just take your time, as long as you loosen both bolts through the steering extension you don’t need to do anything else just jack it up and it will pull itself free then put the other one in place behind it and check it for alignment as you lower it back down
Battlers Club ok. Did u have to keep the steering wheel in place somehow while doing it
Hayden Lees yeah I just took the keys out and turned the wheel so the steering lock came on. Just make sure you mark the steering extension and the spline so that you can line it up to the same spline again or your steering wheel will be crooked
Hey mate how did u end up getting your 285's to fit didn't look like you made video?
Nah didn't end up getting around to that yet haha I should get onto that but theres a couple of steps.
1. You will have to find a tyre shop and tell them you want the caster adjusted all the way forwards or as far forwards as they can. (I used Bob Jane at Keperra if your in Brisbane).
do this step first so you can do the rest yourself at home.
2. I cut a bit out of the front bumper using an angle grinder but you can use a hacksaw or jigsaw or anything that works its just plastic.
I just took a little bit at a time and used a bit of paper to mark a template so I could match it on the other side.
I had to put the wheels on to do this so i could see where they would rub.
3. If they still scrub on the back you may need to remove some of your flare if you have flares and/or flatten the metal pinch weld along the back.
there should be posts on facebook about how to do this,
it's not very difficult just take your time and do it neat if you have to but i didn't end up needing to do this at all.
Ryan Cameron cheers heaps for the reply 🤘 that's pretty good you don't scrub at all with 285's I'm running 32/11.5 on neg 22 rims and I just scrub on full lock hitting a bump, but I plan on going to 33's or 285's I just wasn't too keen on body mount chopping for resale reasons, what offset are you running too btw
@@jaidenwilliamson442 I'm running 0 offset, i'd say thats why you hit on lock just because of that little bit of extra offset
Ryan Cameron yea it's a shame I'm a fan of the poke haha
Hey man are you able to get in contact with me? I’ve had trouble with my radiator drop and just need some advise or a few pics
Hey mate where did ya get your headlights from
Just off eBay mate
So did you not have to use extended bumper brackets?
Not for the bumper but for the bullbar yes I used brackets to suit 2” body lift
do you need to extend the brake lines if you do this?
rota m8 nah mate no need to extend brake lines for this
Could you get the Ute out of the garage after lifting it ?
Joseph Iturra yeah haha only just
please show how you fit the bigger wheels please with out cutting
big dogs gotta eat on my list of things to do this weekend 👍
How did you get the tires to fit!!!
I cut out a lot of the plastic bumper as well as plastic behind the wheels and have since done a body mount chop as well.
@@RyvalCreative dam cheers for the quick response.
hey do you know if its possible to do the same body lift in an auto?
Everything would be the same but I’m not 100% sure what would happen with your shifter, I assume you may have to get some kind of spacer or extension for the shifter surround or if not your shifter might drop by 2”
@@RyvalCreative yeah, wish I could find someone that has done it to an auto so its know its possible
@@ryantayler5104 yep possible i didn’t have any issues
@@MineMoore was your shifter just shorter?
@@ryantayler5104 My transfer case shifter is just lower down, still works fine though and didn't have to trim the transmission tunnel or anything like that.
where did you get these headlight kit?
Just from eBay mate, honesty they are not good though I would not recommend them
have you had any trouble with the legal side of things?
Luckily I haven’t yet, looking at getting it modplated ASAP though
love these videos good to just get an idea on how the body lifts go in, you have instagram to follow the hilux build? 👍🏼
COURTZ sure do, it’s cool_hand_rc
Followed 👍🏼 I watched the body lift for the tray video when I raised my tray and it helped me a lot cause I just learn better by seeing how it’s done rather then instructions 😂
COURTZ awesome mate, glad I could help at least 1 person. Good thing I finally got around to doing the rest of it
Ey mate whereabouts are you in Australia?
In Brisbane mate
Have you realised you didn’t need to trim the intake hose? Just add the extender to the bottom
No I have not realised that
What are the tyres? 285/75/16?
Yeah exactly
Did I miss the bit where you jacked up the car and actually installed the lift??
Must have
Hey mate how much was the kit?
Around $700 from memory
Did you lift your tray?
Yeah I had already lifted it before I made this video
Nice mall crawler
rhys johnston cheers broseph
So after installing this does it mean u will no longer pass a road worthy
Yes that’s correct, unless you had a mod plate for it. That being said you’d be super unlucky to get someone to actually pick it out if they weren’t specifically looking for it
Got me buggered why people call it an N70? Ive owned one for 10years now and no where on compliance plates, hand book or even ordering parts is it refered to an N70 even from Toyota. Depending on options its a KUN25 or like mine KUN26R
Yeah it’s actually not an N70, N70 would be a late 80’s model hilux. The only reason I put N70 in my titles is because I know people search that while looking for this model hilux haha the first generation hilux’s (late 60’s / early 70’s) were an N10 and the next gen was N20 and maybe that’s how some people came to n70 for this model. But yeah I don’t know why people call it N70 either.
how big is the sus lift?
Jack Duncan about 2”
You wanna give me a hand with mine mate? Cash or a slab your way! Let me know haha
Your not showing nothing on the video on anything getting done just talking and explaining. people want to see it done not told how to do it. If you have video on it would be great 👍🏻
its all talk
Broo will pay if you lift mine aswell kun26r if ya keen
Sorry mate, you couldn't pay me enough to do that again haha heaps of places do them though just ask around. Cheers for watching though.
Anybody in Melbourne willing to do my body lift on navara d40? I already have 3” lift but I also want 2” body lift. I’ll pay good money $400
I just took one out it fux with the steering shaft, Airbox Radiator and all sorts of things, nightmare seriously idiot P plater shit
People don’t think it be how it is but it do
