Hey guys as the title says I live in Australia so my 1979 4x4 f100 is right hand drive. I want to do a 6.5inch suspension lift on it and I found a kit on superlift that will post to Australia. My question is whether or not it will bolt straight in due to being right hand drive or if ill need to modify any part of it to suit? The kit also includes the pitman arm and adjustable drag link and all that jazz.
Cheers for your help in advance and if you need to know anymore just let me know

I would think it should bolt on. Might contact superlift and their tech support before you order though.

 

Does it have a "trac bar drop bracket" or just a adjustable trac bar, or both? I am pretty sure the drop pitman arm will work on the other side, same box just mounted on the other side?

Same for the longer brake lines. Does the 6" lift come with radius arm drop brackets, have fun grinding rivets? lol You getting new 6" lift leafs for the rear or just stacking blocks back there?

Longer d/s will be in order....and degrees shims for the front "C's". X2 on ask Superlift tech line.

This is the kit I want to buy so it comes with the radius arm drop brackets but only an adjustable track bar. Do you recommend the drop brackets for that? Yea they are just addaleafs. The drop pitman arm is separate but ill be buying all at once.

 

I am not a 1/2 lift kit guru by no means, but that amount of lift is alot for a 1/2 ton. I think that a trac bar drop bracket is a good combination part to consider, along with the adjustable trac bar.

Add-a leafs and stacked blocks....stacked blocks are not that good of an idea. All that extra blockage is a horse power fueled fulcrum that leads to axle twist.

Maybe at least consider 6" rear lift springs and just the one OEM block. But yea more $$$.

 

Interesting thing to think on... Its like converting metric to standard for the first time.. The only difference I can think of would be the steering box being physically reversed from the American

 

Post pics of the progress, and of your current setup!

Jan Weyer sounds South African...Ausi trucks and SA trucks have a lot in common. Looking forward to your lift and how it turns out.
