Just curious if those that have done a lift kit on there R60 or R61 would recommend the mod or has there been any down sides to doing it?
I like the look and should be very easy to make a kit just want to see if there was any negatives that come with it? Transfer case and diff hold up ok with the larger tires etc? Any input would be great.
Plan would be to going about 2" with the larger 215/65R17 Toyo Open Country AT3 tires since I can get them in town.

 

Here are some options

Thanks but more looking for peoples experiences with the lift and larger tires, if they had issues with any of the drivetrain (diff, T-Case etc) after the install. Or if the All4 is up to the added stress of the oversized tires.

 

Only thing i have heard is to change the fluid. Early R60 in all4 had rear diff issues stock. Most were replaced under warranty. Other then that the stock clutch will need replaced.

 

Changed all fluids within the first week of owning the Paceman. Everything has been changed over to Reline for the dirveline and Castrol Edge 5W30 with Liqui Moly MOS2 for the engine.
Did the Transfer case and rear diff with Redline 75W90, the Auto Transmission was filled with 4 quarts of D4 ATF after dropping the pan full drain and new filter and gasket.

 

I think you are good. Since auto you don't need to do clutch (no clutch), I would do the auto fluid more often as the strain on the driveline will put some pressure on that system. Its better to do this on a manual as you can always pop a clutch in.

 

Maybe better to not on a Auto then? But yea I plan to do the Transmission fluid change every 30-40K KM's here on in since it's very easy to do and cheap insurance to keep it happy.

 

Just watch with auto and change fluid.
