What Tools Do I Need To Lift My Ute?
Our Hilux Lift Kits come with everything you need to lift your ute - except for the tools of course.
So what gear will you need to install a VMN Body Lift Kit or one of our great suspension kits yourself at home? You’ll be surprised at how few tools you really need. Most amateur DIY fans will have most of these laying around the shed.
Here’s our checklist:
- A set of sockets
- Some spanners
- A screwdriver set
- a hammer
- A 5mm Allen key
- A Stanley knife
- Something to cut sheet metal with (only for body lifts for some models) This could be tin snips, air hacksaw, Dremel, etc.
- An electric drill and drill bits.
- A floor jack (a car jack and some blocks of wood will do at a pinch)
- Some blocks of timber to put between the body and your jack.
- For suspension lifts you sometimes need a ball joint seperator.
Optional extras:
- A mate to help
- A carton of beer to reward your mate after the job is done!
That’s it! You’re ready to go!
