Body Lift Kit Pricing/Ordering Page

After 25 years in operation, it's time to close up shop and move on to other adventures. Thanks to all the loyal customers over the years that helped to make this all possible. The web site will remain live.

Introduction:

For the 1st generatio Kia Sportage models. These models usea body on frame construction. Later model Sportages use a uni-body style construction and that doesn't allow for the body to be lifted off the frame.

You are encouraged to inspect your vehicle's body mounts to verify that there are indeed 8 mounts (4 per side) and those upper body mount bushings are ~80mm (~3-1/4") in diameter and that there are 14mm (~9/16") diameter threaded studs projecting down through the body mounts from the body.
- If so, then these lift kits will be applicable to your vehicle and feature 3.5" diameter Mega size lift blocks.
- If you have any questions as to the applicability of this kit with your vehicle, this is how you can find the answer yourself in a few minutes.
  - On the uni-body models, you won't find any body mounts because the body and frame are not separate.
- Here are the Kia part numbers for replacement body mount bushings:
  - 0K01939941 Rubber-Body Mounting, Upper
  - 0K01739942 Body Mounting, Lower
  - You may be able to search on-line parts dealers for these P/Ns or take these P/Ns to your local Kia dealer parts counter
  - Here's a partial DIY option.
    - For the above option, you'll need to drill out center of the generic poly bushings to a 3/4" diameter.
    - We can also supply poly lower bushings, 2" / 51mm OD x 23mm tall and 3/4" ID for $15.00/ea. or $100 for a set of 8


1-3/8"/ 35mm Lift Blocks - ruler shown for scale, not included	3" / 75mm Lift Blocks and Bolt Extensions	Detail of notched blocks - typical of front two blocks

Kia Sportage:

There are 2 basic 1st generation Kia Sportage lift kits:

The shorter 1-3/8" (35mm) makes use of the existing body mount hardware and adds the lift blocks to the stock setup
- Assumes that you have adequate exposed length of threads on the 8 body mount studs, that is 1-3/8" plus room for the nuts.
- A small number of vehicles have less than 1-3/8" of exposed thread.
  - If this is the case on your vehicle, please advise in your order and we can supply a shorter lift block, such as 1".
  - Or you can order the 1-3/8" blocks with bolt extensions (kit D instead of kit B).
    - You may find it necessary to trim off some of the threaded stud length to fit the bolt extension in place as there is only about 1" of thread depth inside the extension.
- Note it is possble to omit one of the two nuts if needed, just use a thread locking compound on the remaining nut or pick up some nylon lock nuts.
The taller 3" (75mm) kit uses 3" long bolt extensions for the stock hardware and adds the 3" lift blocks
- Bolt extensions screw onto the stock M14-1.50 studs extending out from the body and provide similar threads to allow re-use of the stock body mount nuts.
- Bumper and other modifications likely needed at 3" lift and are not included with this kit
Both kits will include 8 - 3.5" (~89mm) diameter UHMW lift blocks.
- Blocks are designed to fit over the existing ~80mm diameter rubber body mount bushings
  - They feature a ~6mm (1/4") deep recess, 80mm in diameter to enclose and contain the top of the rubber bushing to keep it from squeezing out from the weight that it supports.
    - As such, the lift blocks will that much taller than the lift height, so the 1-3/8" lift blocks are physically 1-5/8" tall, owing to the 1/4" deep recess in the bottom.
  - Likewise, the top of the block features a stepped down upper portion to fit inside the metal bushing cups under the body.
The front 2 blocks may be supplied pre-notched, as noted in the instructions, with the CUT2 option of for all 8 blocks, add the CUT8 option.
- New, improved notch design allows easier installation of the front blocks without needing to raise front of body ~6". Owing to the difficulty of machining and holding the slippery UHMW blocks, you may see a little tear out around the notches in the front blocks. This is only cosmetic and will not affect the integrity of the blocks.
- Realize, that the notch cut into the blocks will take away some of the strength compared to a solid block. For the strongest setup, using the un-cut blocks is the best. For the easiest installtion, having the 2 front blocks notched is the way to go. But realize that you'll install the blocks once and then use them every time you drive the truck, especially off road.
Natural block color is white, may be custom colored black with the CLR kit option.
Allow 1-2 weeks additonal for fabrication of the Kia Sportage lift kits, due to the complexity of the fully machined, oversized lift blocks and hardware.
Prices (US $) do not include sales tax or shipping
We've SOLD OUT of the Kia body lift kits, see below for another option:

- The SLV option adds 8 sleeves, 1-3/8" tall, to fit over the threaded ends of the body mount studs.
- This extends the shouldered portion of the studs the height of the lift blocks so that the body mount nut and washer can tighten down onto the sleeve, which in turn sits below the shoulder on the body mount stud.
- The sleeves are approx. 18mm OD x 14mm ID.
- If you want to make your own, order ome 18mm steel tubging

Notes and ordering information

Sorento:

On the 1st and 2nd gen Sorento models, there are a total of 10 body mount, 5 on each side of the vehicle, all about 60mm or 2-1/2" in diameter. There should be at least 15mm or 5/8" or 16mm of thread exposed on all 10 of the body mount bolts. Of those bolts, 4 are 10mm or 3/8" in diameter and 6 are 16mm or 5/8" in diameter. If so, our 15mm Sorento kit shouuld fit.

Later model Sorento vehicles utilize a uni-body type construction and are therefore not amenable to a body lift as there's no frame to lift the body off of.

Kit / Lift	up to 1"/25 mm	*up to 2"/50 mm()**	Description - 10 mounts
A	$ 56.00	$ 71.00	Standard Lift Blocks
