Hi guys～~does anyone know how to get Pat lifted? I＇ve been doing some readings. It seems like we have to order the "RRO" from the states to do the job. Can't I just drop my Pat to the suspension shop and get it done? Since I can't do it myself~~~
And I had been asking around Gold Coast, it seems like no one has the kit to do it, even the dealer can't help~~
Could anyone one advice me what to do~~~please~~~~

Order this, and then get a qualified shop to install it and align it.
I'm not qualified, but had most of the right tools and installed it in 6 hours or so in the driveway.

Hi there mate,
I got ARB to install our lift.
They charged 3hrs for the job.
Print out all the instructions on this site and go to your nearest ARB store, show it to them and get a quote.
For RRO 1st send them a message and get a quote on the freight.
Don't use there calculator on the net as it does not give you the right amount.

How much did arb charge?
3 hours.
That's pretty good! It took me 6 hours to install it in the driveway, plus an alignment.

Yep thats correct.
Took them 3 hrs to install the lift I then took it in for new rubber and an alignment was done.
I printed out the instructions from hvac59 from this site which they used.
They charge about $88 per hr.

RRO is in.
Easy to install if you have a bit of mechanical knowledge.
Just time consuming

Can any one tell me??? Is lifting the Patriot in anyway detrimental to its normal Tarmac road holding or handling. I appreciate it may be great for off road , but would hate to think it would wallow like a pig on normal fast highways!!

i keep it under 120 km/h at most times on the highway. at those speeds, I've noticed no difference at all.

Needs tyres, looking at these wheels.
Also did a grille mod, bit of a @#$% but got there.
