BODY LIFT

The body lift on a Isuzu Rodeo was an easy undertaking.  I was a little intimidated by the overwhelming thought of trying to do this thing, but once i got started it was relitivly easy.  I pretty much followed the directions found with the kit.  Now, I used a kit that was intended for a pre 97 rodeo so it was a little different.  Mainly the steering and the vaccum lines were the difference.  You will need to be careful when jacking up the body that you don't go too high or you will risk ruining your R&P steering.  There are also some vaccum lines on the drivers side under the car that will require leignthing.  These are important for actuating the 4wd system.  Also, the fan shroud will need to be modified.  The botom of the shroud will have to be removed to allow the fan to function properly.  You will also have to think about modifying the filler neck for your gas tank.  I simply cut mine and used a pice of stainless steel exaust tubeing to leignthen it.  Make sure you use hose clamps on both sides-- crank them down hard and re-check them for leaks.  The main idea is that you get the bolts in good and snug, re-check them for tightness after about 100 miles, then again at 500 miles.  Make sure you use the lock tight supplied with the kit too, it will provide extra holding streignth.
