Is lifting the body on my 80 Luv as easy as puting spacers between the 6 body to chasis bolts?

It depends on how much lift you are going for.

It might take some trimming around the steering wheel at the firewall, and around the shifter. It does depend on how high you go. Under 2 inch and it doesn't take much. Any more than 2 inch and it starts to get worse fast. You also want to watch the fuel hardlines where they attach to the cab, right near the fuel pump. Might need to get longer rubber between the pump and the steel lines.

Keep an eye on any wires around too, there is a ground from the trans to the cab that snaps when you lift the cab, and that may or may not bring up all sorts of electrical gremlins.

You are right on the cab though, 6 mounts and it is up. If you have a pickup bed (what do you call them down there, utes?) they have about 10 mount points.

Thanks 800XL I have a flat aluminium tray thats tips only want to lift body 1 inch

I doubt you'll run into any issues just going up an inch. That isn't much change really. Maybe just loosen up the bolts holding the steering column to the firewall and dash before lifting and then tighten them once you're done. That should let it take up a little slack if it needs to move at all.

Body lift kits are unavailable in Oz Is it ok to remove stock rubbers and replace with 1 inch solid spacer
