Lift-kit for an old Truck.

[Changnoi2]

Hello.

I have an old Mitzu L200 Single cab, I'm considering raising the truck with a lift kit. Ive seen a few garages by the side of the road that seem to specialize in this procedure. My concern is that its 2 wheel drive, older LPG ,and has also been converted to an automatic. I dont wish to go over the top with such large wheels or raise it that high, The truck is only worth around 80-90,000 baht but I do tend to see a lot of the older trucks getting the treatment. Does anyone know the cost? I once asked a mechanic a few years back and he said around 20,000 baht.

Cheers.

You may want to consider,they have just brought new laws out to put

an end to these kind of conversions,plus a lot of other stuff.

OMG! New laws in Thailand. Do they come with new RTP to actually enforce any of them?

Back before there were dedicated lift kit manufacturers, we used hockey pucks. May be hard to source in LOS. But to just lift the body off the frame would not be that big a deal if you stay conservative. Be aware that your steering shaft angles will change. We solved that problem by elongating the mounting holes in the frame and tilting the steering box a bit. Worked, but strictly backyard.
