Body elevator It is necessary to perform the owner of UAZ Hunter in order to increase the passability of its own car. As you know, the UAZ SUVs are considered not very reliable vehicles, although this is a certain extent reimbursed by inexpensive spare parts.
The device of such a car is simple and maintainable. Its patency depends largely on exactly how the wheels are constructed. It turns out if the car goes well on slush on medium tires, then on high-quality he will actually behave perfectly. Therefore, it makes sense to install foreign wheels on the "right". But in order for them to fit in the arches, it is necessary to perform an elevator of the body of UAZ Hunter, namely, to lift over the body of the body base - according to automotive terminology, to perform "Bodillift", that is, "hoof."
It is impossible not to note that if you do the EAZ suspension lift with their own hands, it will lead to some negative points, in particular, its center of gravity will increase.
Such a lifting weakens the body mounting of the SUV to the frame, which increases the likelihood of a malfunction in a high spacer with a large lever.
From the positive sides of such tuning, the following can be distinguished:
- increasing the randomness of the SUV due to the fact that the extension of the body base increases;
- it becomes possible to install the wheels of large diameter;
- it becomes possible to combine the suspension elevator and cutting the arches, which makes reliable different nodes of UAZ Hunter;
- it has a positive effect on the car handling;
- prevents damage to the cardan shaft;
- creates a more beautiful outdoor view of the SUV.
In order to make a body elevator UAZ with their own hands, such materials and tools will be needed as:
- profile;
- steel sheet;
- welding machine;
- bolts.
Autowner Initially, it is necessary to set the magnitude of the future device and the distance on which the frame from the body will be located. Such a parameter must be within 50 - 100 millimeters.
After that, it is necessary to make a spacer, given the selected elevator embroidery, for which a special profile with a square cross section is used. The dimensions of his sides should be one hundred millimeters.
By carrying out the elevator UAZ Hunter do it yourself, you will need to cut twelve blanks from the profile. The deputy of each of them is 120 millimeters. From a steel sheet, twenty-four squares of a hundred per hundred millimeters are cut out of the steel sheet of thickening in two or three millimeters. In the future, they are welding them for profile segments. As a result, cubes are incorrect configuration. All spacers on the ends are made of ten millimeters in diameter. SUV frame is the main component of the device that is manufactured. To fix the parts are used for washers, nuts and bolts.
To prepare the body base to future work, you will need to turn off the battery and substitute special stops under the wheels. Also unscrewed fixing radiator bolts. To raise an SUV, you will need a jack and supports made from wood.
Thus, the car body is lifted to a specific embroidery. To do this, it is necessary to raise parts of the UAZ Hunter, located at the back and in front of it uniform and alternately.
Here the most basic thing is that the body base displacement does not occur relative to the frame. Otherwise, it will be difficult to complete the combination of the fixing holes of the SUV to the frame.
Each spacer is placed by their own hands, for which you will need to remove the manufacturer's pillows, having trained the bodyplace directly to the frame using bolts and spacers. Components of fasteners are not tightened until the stop. After that, the SUV descends right on the frame. In the course of the further stage of the work, you will need to finally tighten the bolts and screw the lock nut. All components are installed in the opposite sequence. If necessary, the elongation of the required hoses is performed, as well as the wires of the SUV.
With the help of the grinder, cutting into two parts of the mounting of the steering column to the body base UAZ HANTER. Wiring, running along the steering column, protect against sparks. Then the steering column fixation is carried out to another place, after which it is welded to the torpedo. Such a UAZ elevator can be carried out not only on Hunter, but also on all other models of the car.
Alternative way to enlarge body embroidery
This method is based on the use of a puck spacer, which is played in hockey. You can buy them easily in sports goods. Although the cost of the washers is a little more than the price of steel sheets. Although car service specialists do not advise the use of washers, as they can burst. Therefore, it is better to use monoblock devices: polyurethane and caproolone.
Some buy ready-made sets that are specifically designed to make an SUV bodylift.
At first, the twelve bolts fixing the body base to the frame. If necessary, such components are cut. By purchasing new bolts, you need to pay attention to their length, which should be larger than the length of the native bolts on the sliding spacers.

This method of tuning provides for the need to raise it thanks to the jack, as well as perform a new screwing with the help of spacers. As a result, the steering column shaft changes the inclined angle. It relies on the shield of the engine, because a special place is cut under it. The steering column is shifted simultaneously along with the body base of the SUV. Experts advise to make a weakening of the crosses, so that the shaft lengthened a little.
According to the plan of the manufacturer, the main elements of the domestic SUV, UAZ Patriot should be off-road. In such conditions, the following qualities come to the fore:
- the presence of a full drive, which allows you to confidently move on slippery and wet covers in any weather;
- increased clearance, which promotes the possibility of overcoming the bumpy areas.
The plant declared the magnitude of the clien UAZ Patriot at 210 mm. This is a very impressive figure, however, the domestic off-road is able to present such "surprises", where even the stated lumen becomes small.
Nowadays, such a concept as "elevator" is extremely popular in the environment of owners of SUVs. Under it implies an increase in the suspension.
Today we consider the moments related to the execution of the event on the lifting of the chassis, with their own hands, and also find out what is included in the kit for this type of tuning.
Is it worth zooming the suspension?
For what purposes the owner of the UAZ Patriot is needed to be an overestimated location of the suspension nodes, we hope it is known. Highly located components of the chassis contribute to improving the roadless path. With the raised nodes of the suspension, the risk of the hook of aggregates for road obstacles is reduced. In addition, after performing measures to tuning and lifting, the SUV increases the angles of the congress, contributing to the safety of bumpers. All these advantages are very valuable on-road, since the risk of "planting" UAZ Patriot on the frame is minimized.
One of the main components of the Lifting Activities with their own hands is the raising frame over the aggregates of the transmission series. Here you should designate the difference in actions, because in the front of the transmission bridge is suspended with the help of springs, and in the scene of the stern is endowed with springs.
Methods of lifting suspension
You can perform the suspension lift in UAZ Patriot, resorting to one of three ways, namely:
- By installing spacers between the elastic components of the running and body.
- Due to the re-equipment on the pneumatic suspension version. This method involves the attraction of a considerable financial resource and is available in moderation to wealthy owners. The "minus" of such a suspension is traditionally considered to be its small resource, especially since in difficult operational conditions, the pneumatic details will "live" even less than they expect from them.
- By replacing the standard elastic components of the suspension on enhanced analogues with increased dimensions. Note that this method is more acceptable, since it eliminates the need for spacers. It also does not involve the subsequent loss of springs or springs.
Elevator in the front suspension. How to perform?
Front chassis is constantly exposed to high loads. Here in the role of the aggravating factor is a heavy motor. His weight reaches a few hundred kilograms. In addition, stuff fans set such equipment as: a kenguryatnik, enhanced bumper, winch, etc. As a result, the front suspension is "rewarded" by a large load, which can be partly compensated for by the elevfting event.
The front suspension lift implies the replacement of "native" springs to tougher and elongated analogues. It is recommended to look at the products "KybrD 5081 + 50mm" or "Toch Dag + 50mm".
In any embodiment, spring elements must have an enhanced design, which involves the rod thickness above 16 mm. We should not forget about the need to mount precisely the elongated products (+50 mm). Excess the marked length of length is not recommended, as the risk of exposure to increased loads on the bridge is increasing.
To replace with your own hands alone springs are not enough. We will pay attention to shock absorbers, the length of which is less than that requires lifting. Conclusion - change the "native" shock absorbers for suitable analogs. We recommend to draw a look at the products from the Tociko brand, whose dimensions vary from 345 to 570 mm.
Consider the option when the owner for the purpose of saving funds aimed at the installation of spacers instead of setting the designated reinforced components. Here you will need to know aspects such as:
- the installation of products is performed between the spring element and body frame (their thickness does not exceed 30 mm);
- it is recommended to use spacers that are made of polyurethane.
Performing suspension lift The front owner of UAZ Patriot will also need to perform actions such as:
- replace hoses in brake mechanisms on elongated analogues;
- with a significant lifting ("Lifting" of more than 100 mm), it will take the installation of transverse thrust;
- it will be necessary to restore the Castor;
- upon completion of the entire conversion complex, we adjust the collapse.
Rear suspension lifting suspension UAZ
The chassis of the stern also needs elevator, there is an elevator of the rear suspension. Here it will be necessary to replace with your own hands full-time springs with reinforced options. Note that the native products consist of 3-sheets, and tuning - already out of 4. For new springs, it is recommended to establish polyurethane spacers, as a result of which the clearance will add another 100 mm. Spacers complete with standard springs are able to provide an increase in the lumen of 50 mm.
The photo shows what kind of elevator after installing 4-sheet springs and 60-millimeter pillows from the spacer.
The result of tuniga will be visible not only from the street, but also from the SUV salon.
The lift of the rear suspension can be diversified by applying longer seagles on the springs. Here we concentrate on the thickness of sheet steel parts, since this indicator must be at least 30 mm.
The present assistance to the owners of UAZ Patriot are present on the sale and pre-formed sets for lifting. It simplifies the repair process and allows you to perform an elevator of the rear suspension at home.
Elevator set for UAZ Patriot
An eminent manufacturer of such sets for UAZ Patriot is the firm "Reef". Note that the set is very expensive, since the cost can "translate" for 50 thousand rubles.
The kit involves compensation for additional mass in full. Recall that weight is added after the installation of such accessories, such as reinforced bumpers, thresholds, kangarin, winch, etc.
What is included in the kit? The set consists of the following details:
- 4-leaf rear springs and stepladder to them;
- springs (+50 mm) and reinforced shock absorbers for the front suspension;
- reinforced shock absorbers for the chassis of the stern;
- seall for rear springs.
All designated components of the kit have such a design that allows them to be installed on the standard fasteners of the body of the UAZ Patriot. This greatly simplifies the assembly procedure and does not imply the need for revisions.
The only significant disadvantage of a set for lifting, as it turned out is its considerable cost. The front suspension lift and the front suspension lift is not very different.
Let's summarize
In conclusion, we note that the owners who very often exploit their UAZ patriot will be presented to essentially from lifting. Thanks to the event, not only the permeability of the SUV is improved, but also beneficially transformed the exterior, becoming more monumental.
We dealt with the process of anterior and rear suspension on SUV UAZ Patriot. But the elevator does not end only on the suspension, so if you wish to really spend the car tuning and make it more passable, then it is not necessary to do without a body bodillift procedure. What it is and, how is the bodice of the body on the UAZ Patriot SUV, let's try to figure it out in detail.
Body elevator is the process of raising the body over the frame of the vehicle. The process of raising in various ways is carried out, but the most acceptable is the installation of spacers.
For your information! On SUVs UAZ Patriot, it is possible to carry out a simultaneous lift of the suspension and body lift. But it is not excluded to stop either only in the first variant or on the second.
Bodillift allows you to increase the space in the wheeled arches, which will allow the replacement of the regular wheels to more original. If the suspension lift raises the UAZ patriot SUV over the road, then the bodylift allows you to increase the distance from the body to the ground. If the suspension is increasing on the SUV, then the geometric permeability changes. Bodylift Body does not affect this permeability, which actually is one of the advantages.
Why do you need Bodillift.
From the factory, the UAZ Patriot SUV is completed with the full-time wheels of the fifteenth diameter. At first glance, it would seem, for a jeep enough, but having passed once around the rough terrain, you understand all the cons of this car. Of course, a patriot from the plant was calculated to operate it in off-road conditions, but to improve the permeability, the system processing will be recycled in general. But today we will pay attention to the rise of the body over the frame, which will allow, first of all, to establish a larger diameter of the R16 or R17 disks, as well as 33 inches of wheels. Under such wheels it will be enough to raise the body by 60 mm using the installation of spacers. If it is planned to make tuning full, so that others
we envied and install 35 inch wheels, then everything will be much more complicated. In such a situation, it is not without cutting metal, and this should be more closely. Bodillift SUV UAZ Patriot by 60 mm is carried out at home with their own hands and does not require special skills. Only a friend's help and the necessary tool will be required, but it does not arise with this.
So, we found out why you need a body elevator for the UAZ Patriot SUV, and now we'll figure it out, what will be required for this process?
What you need to have for installation
Before you begin to raise the body, you need to purchase a special kit for a patriot bodybode. It is necessary to immediately make a reservation that body bodielift costs much cheaper than lifting the suspension. There is a set of body elevator in the area of \u200b\u200b5-6 thousand rubles, which by pocket owners of such a jeep.
The kit includes special spacers from Kaprolon, which are actually installed between the body and the frame of the UAZ Patriot SUV. The screed of the body with the frame is carried out by means of special coupling bolts, which also come in the kit. Spacers already have the appropriate dimensions and are designed specifically to withstand serious loads.
It is possible to spend the body elevator using homemade spacer or various items, but you should carefully approach this issue. Below is an example of a homemade metal spacer.
Although many car owners neglect this statement and install steel spacers by welding them to the frame. After the kit is ready for installation, you can start the actual fastening procedure.
Installing spacers
Before installing spacers, you must unscrew the fastenings of the body to the frame so that in these places it is raised. First of all, the SUV is installed on a flat surface above the observation pit, and supports are installed under the wheels. Under the hood in the right part we find a wire with a plug that feeds the oxygen sensor. His at the very beginning of the work should be turned off, since its lengths will not be enough. How to connect it after the body elevator procedure, consider it later. We proceed with the process of unscrewing brackets:
Kit space for Bodilyft
- At the back of the body is attached to the frame with two bolts that are immediately behind the bumper. To extract them and install new, you will need to remove the rug in the trunk.
- The following two bolts are located under the rear seats. To do this, the seats should be raised, and in the holes of the rug find bolts and dismiss them.
- Moving further and we find two more bolts under the rug in the feet of the driver and passenger.
- Two more brackets are located in front of the radiator. To unscrew them, you need to unscrew all mounts from the radiator. There is no need for removal of supports and pipes.
After unscrewing the nuts of all body fastening bolts, it is not necessary to hurry to extract them from the holes, so that no displacement occurred.
So, now you can proceed to the preparation of holes for installing new bolts from the body elevator. These bolts have a diameter of 12 mm, and the standard opening is calculated under 10 mm. Therefore, 12 mm drill drill all holes from which regular bolts were removed. It should be started from the front openings, so it is raised by the front of the SUV with the help of two jacks. Raising must be made synchronously so that no displacement occurred.
After raising the body to the necessary height, spacers are installed in the connection location. Further, the installation of bolts is carried out, and only after that you can lower the front part. The back part rises in the same way, and spacers are installed. Spacers are set from the beginning, that is, the products are mounted in the junction of the frame with the body under the legs of the driver and the passenger, then under the rear seats and at the end of the trunk.
After the front-end spacers under the legs of the driver and the passenger will be installed, it is necessary to gradually, controlling the direction of the bolts, lower the body. In such a situation, it is recommended to work with a friend to prevent errors. All spacers are installed consistently. After that, it remains to screw the nuts on the bolts, and the process of lifting the body is completed.
Finishing work
Bloused SUV UAZ Patriot after installing spacers 6 cm has some deviations. They must be immediately eliminated. After the Bodillift, you yourself will understand what kind of deviations, but we will look at this moment immediately.
- Gear shift lever. So, first of all, it will restorate in the floor, not allowing the ability to turn on the rear and fifth gears. It is possible to solve the problem by digesting the lever or cutting the body portion that interferes with the course of the handle.
- Viscounts and casing. If the SUV has not been replaced by the Viscounts on electric fans, it will be necessary to produce some alterations. Viscounts, together with the engine, left at the bottom of the body, and the casing, which is closed by the fan, is attached to the radiator. To the blades do not touch the casing, it will be necessary to fix it with the help of added plates.
- Oxygen sensor. At the beginning of the installation of the body elevator, we have disconnected the oxygen sensor. Now it must be connected to the plug. To do this, dismantle the corner transition of the wire and pull it out. Thus, the sensor is connected. The photo below shows what should happen.
- Rear and front bumper. The bumper also needs to be recycled, since after the body elevator is produced, these products remained below 6 cm. To remove the resulting gap between the bumper and the body, you need to remake the front and rear bumpers fastening. Fastenings are cut off with a frame and digested to a height of 6 cm.
That's all the elements that need recycling. At this stage, body elevator on the UAZ patriot is completed. Now you can install new size 33 wheels and go to the first tests.
At this stage, you can sum up and report that the elevated SUV looks much cooler. Now every passenger car on the road will be like on the palm of the palm, and overcoming obstacles to off-road will turn out not in the test, but in pleasure.
You can check your KBM, and if you need to reduce it!
UAZ 469. It is impossible to remain indifferent to this car, the surrounding reaction is directly confirmation. Policemen are smiling at the sight of it, bikers welcome or understandably.
For these cars, unfortunately, the reputation of not very reliable cars was entrenched. But the price of spare parts is relatively low. The car's design itself was originally copied with one of the Land Rover models. Of course, the appearance has long been outdated, but, thanks to this, the repair is not complicated, and it is forces to make it yourself. Plus, the UAZ is that in off-road conditions, he can give odds to almost any foreign SUV. This is despite the fact that the quality of rubber on the wheels leaves much to be desired, and it is known, its wheels affect the passability of the car.
Following simple logic, if the UAZ establish imported good wheels, then the car's passability will improve at times. Another question is how to do this, for for this you need to raise the body of the car over the frame, in other words "tighten". How to do it? Tell together.
How to inform UAZ 469
To put on the UAZ 469 wheels with a diameter of at least 35 inches, you will have to install spacers between the frame and the body. In the role of spacers, any items can be made (for example, hockey washers). Such spacers are set in the amount of two pieces for every 12 fastening bolts. The washers are convenient because they do not need to make markup, because they have a convex surface and in the middle due to transportation they are formed rubbing.
To install the spacer you need to unscrew the thrust of the radiator mounting. Then unscrew the nuts and bolts, with the help of which the car body is attached to its frame. With the help of two jacks, the body rises from behind, then in front and from the sides. At this time, the washers are inserted. Conventional fastening bolts are temporarily replaced with longer. Another small addition is the longer spring earrings from Gazelle.
The problem is that the bolt from "Gazelles" is less than the diameter than the holes in the rubber bushings of the UAZ. But the problem is solved: pieces of conventional tap pipes are put on the bolts.
Then, when the body is connected again with the frame, it will only be necessary to adjust the level of inclination of the radiator. Arches, thanks to these manipulations, expand, and 35-inch wheels, calmly occupy their place. Such work can be easily done by one person. It will take it no more than three days.
The result of such a replacement was the fact that the car began to seem more of their real sizes. The clearance increased by about 9 cm. After the car was headed, it became obvious that the gas is too increased, and the engine publishes "Ryk" at elevated circulation. When moving, it was found that the rear speed does not work. Due to the fact that the body was raised, the groove of the switch lever moved not to his place. With a file, this problem has been eliminated. The advantage of lifting the elevator was what the benzobac rose. Thus, it has become less defeated by shocks.
How much is the EAZ 469 lift
As for the total costs of "Bluching" UAZ, you will need:
- Washers for hockey. Total will have to purchase 24 pieces. The price of one washer from 6 to 10 rubles.
- Bolts in the amount of 12 pieces. Cost of bolt from 19 to 30 rubles.
- Earrings from "Gazelle". 4 pieces need. Price from 35 to 40 rubles.
The total amount of costs for spare parts will not exceed two thousand rubles.
The price of the car is also not high. Tires and wheels, for example, Goodrich Mud-Terrain 35x12.5 R15, can be brought by about 14 thousand. You only need to look good. Disks will cost approximately 30 thousand. Total new wheels for UAZ will cost about 120 thousand rubles. The price is quite acceptable for such qualitative changes. Of course, there are special sets for lifting elevators.
Their cost is approximately 15 thousand rubles. What are their advantage? The fact that the kits are made of special material, which is resistant to shocks, vibration, heating. Such details are held special testing and have quality certificates. As for the washers, there is no accurate guarantee that they will serve for a long time and qualitatively. Their properties are unknown. When using washers, you need to be prepared for the fact that the design can break at any time.
Blinding Suspension UAZ 469
It is possible to inform the OUZA 469 suspension. This kind of "lift" has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is to improve the car's passability, because the wheels remain in their place, but the body rises upstairs, except bridges. The second advantage of the "lifting" suspension is that it is possible to install the wheels of the larger diameter, which before the transformations simply do not fit into the arches of the UAZ. The disadvantage is that the angles of cardan crosses increase. As a result, the cardan operates on a break, and as a result they can simply fail.
In order to flicker the suspension there are several ways. First you need to put a longer springs earrings. The main thing is that they were in the design of the car. There are several types of spacer. It is also necessary to shoot spring. It will be an attempt to make the car softer.
When you start to put a longer earrings, the main thing is not to overdo it and do not install too long. This will lead to the fact that the suspension will work differently, and the handling of the car will noticeably deteriorate. In order for this not happened, you need to pull the earrings with a screed in the middle. Next, go to the spacers of the bridge-springs. Not distorting the design of the springs, the Suspension of the UAZ rises with the help of spacer. Large "lift" will not happen.
It is necessary to think about the fixation of the spacer in advance and that the lengths of the Sprinkle Springs are enough. Of course, old springs can be sought, and even replace them with new ones. Only the price is quite high. Spring Spring is actually not a difficult task as many consider. Yes, and most Owse owners make it not for "lifting", but in order for the suspension to start working at all, it became softer and worked out irregularities.
The experience of others is enough in this matter, just the result is almost always alone. There is no significant effect from spring spring. Therefore, there are no meaning with the springs. Under the spring is simply cut, new spacers are cleaned or purchased. The material can be different: rubber, metal, conveyor belt. It is important to remember that when "lifting" suspension needs long-incredibly shock absorbers. Old will wear very quickly.
Outcome
Of course, certified kits for "lifting" are not all pocket, so you can put a fantasy into the course. The main thing to use it wisely. There are many options from what you can build spacers, how to raise the car, and how to correctly replace the details. When carrying out such work, it is important to remember that using unattended materials, all works are performed on their fear and risk. No guarantees that you get the expected effect. Some parts of the car can begin to wear faster and have to be replaced with new ones. Observe the measure in changes in your car, because after the changes, there are no guarantees that your UAZ will not submit at the most unexpected time.
