A body lift would be pretty useless. Doesn't increase ground clearance at all.

It may give you extra room for bigger tyres though, if thats why it was being done...

Hmm a fascinating write up, not quite the unclip and lift I had imagined it to be though.

how high do you need to lift the body in order to roll out the chassis.

4 feet DM? Is that the absolute minimum? Or is that applying a bit of a comfort factor?

mmm
what height do you need floor to top of the roof of the D3? Ie what roof height for the shed?
I guess this is one job where a 2 poster is better due to access vs the 4 post ramp?

Just planning ahead... are you still needing a ramp Whistle

Stew I can see you've lifted it the 4 feet or so that DM is describing, what is that that needs to be cleared so the the chassis could be rolled out from underneath?

Thanks Stew. I was asking because I've got room to lift about a metre only, and I need to roll the chassis out and do some work on it. Thumbs Up
