Subieguy Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Yeah my 78 Brat would look real nice with a lift on it:headbang:. Make one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingwill Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I also would be interested in a lift, I'm tired of being the short one in the group:banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael appel Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 I have all the blocks done now I need the strut extension I found a guy who will do it for me Ill let you guys know how it works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAP Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I have all the blocks done now I need the strut extension I found a guy who will do it for me Ill let you guys know how it works out I have a lift on my '78 brat (off the road right now). Someone had welded a new shock mount on the back wheel about an inch higher that stock. Also I think they clocked the torsion bar to get lift on the rear. Alum blocks on the front.

michael appel Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Id love to see pictures of that wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAP Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Id love to see pictures of that wow I am guilty of procratination, and am fairly computer illiterate. I knew when I posted about my '78 I would get some requests. I'll try to get it together to get some pics. It has the 3" lift, 14" rims (style unknown), weber, kn filter, nice custom push bar on the front, and the low style roll bar. Unrusted Az car. I put a japanese low mile hydro lifter engine in it (1600), and drove the wheels off it for several years. It developed a bind in the steering and was parked. I drive a '87 brat for daily transportation. I have the fat case bell housing and would like to put the dual range tranny in it. Many people think I should up to the 1800, but I like the stock arrangement for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsoobdude Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 IF someone decides to produce a lift kit for the Gen 1s, I'll DEFINITELY purchase one for the 78 Brat and 79 Wagon I have access to. I'd love to have a lifted Gen 1 & 2 Brat and Gens 1, 2, and 3 Wagons. Hopefully someone will make a knarly Gen 1 lift (6 inch plus w/ t-case) because in my opinion it looks better than the Gen 2 jacked up (that and I don't want to redo the 85:) ). That and I dont have access to alot of tools/ space to create my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsoobdude Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 OK. So I e-mailed Scott @ SJRLift.com and asked him about producing a lift for the EA71s. Here is his reply- I will be doing a EA71 , a EA81 conversion would be a great Idea, a ea82 conversion would be awesome , If I could get 4 buyers I would do it sooner Scott Unfortunately my funds are tapped out at the moment so I cannot be one of the 4:mad: . I'm hoping if he gets enough interest we'll be seeing a t-case lift for the EA71s in the future (what I REALLY want), either that or a larger (6 inch) instead of just a 4 inch.

kingwill Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 What is the cost of the lift estimated? I may be one of the 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael appel Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 A 4 inch lift is what I want because I want to show everyone stock can still do a good job anything bigger would be easy because your fabrications are even more easier to make like stuffing straight axles underneath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlesr1 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I would love to put a lift on my 79 brat. A weld-free kit would be ideal seeing that I dont have a welder or a 210 outlet to plug one in at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael appel Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 It is mostly blocks but a little fabrication is involved I have a friend that is a fabricator helping me I got most of the rear lifted in just 6 hours wasnt to hard but the shock placement sucks so that will have to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
