UAZ is one of the most popular domestic cars that Russian car enthusiasts are taken for off-road. However, there is no limit to excellence, and over the machine after the factory it is necessary to work hard, so that it is to overcome it to it, and to drive along the taiga, and you can not get bite. One of the fundamental changes of the car is its lift - that is, the lift of the body in order to increase the ground clearance, set large wheels and make the car more passable.

If you decide to make an elevator of the body of the UAZ, check out both the pros and cons of this innovation and appreciate its need. For example, the fastening of the body to the frame will inevitably weaken, the center of gravity of the car will increase, and, it means that the car will have a chance on the side slope. The higher the spacer, the greater the negative consequences. On the other hand, the car will significantly increase the permeability and the ability to put the wheels of the larger diameter will appear. In a word, in the body's height of the UAZ body, it is important to observe the golden middle and squeeze the maximum possibilities for the highest managerial and safety of the car.

You can lift the body from the frame using spacers - products from polyurethane, or Kaprolon. It is best to use monoblock spacers as the most reliable. Experts are not recommended for the use of multilayer pads, and from testing on their own car of various handicrafts such as hockey washers, it is better to abandon the idea level. There are already ready-made kits for lifting the body.

In the process of the elevator, you first unscrew, or cut the bolts with which the frame is attached to the body. Instead, you will use other bolts - larger. It is desirable to choose the bolts so that their length is equal to the length of the "native" bolt in the amount with the width of the laying, or a little more. The body of the car, freed from the frame, lift on the jacks and fix it, can be put between it and the frame of the plank. It is best to use several jacks at once and raise the body synchronously from all sides so that it does not move relative to the frame. Insert the gaskets and fasten the body to the frame through them. It is not necessary to clean regular rubber gaskets at the same time.

When the main work on raising the body was done, it remains only to check the changed angles of inclination and the rest of the car. The changes will depend on the height on which you raised the body. They can touch the shaft of the steering column, which will change the angle of inclination and strengthen the engine shield. Cut an extra bed to it. Another problem can be excessive tension of the steering column. Loosen a slightly fastening of the steering shaft with a crossbar so that the shaft is slightly lengthened.

After completing the body's lift, check the speed switching. Perhaps the car will stop turning on the rear and fourth speed. The reason for this is that the lever began to rest in the casing. The problem is solved in two ways: the casing is ruled by a sledgehammer, or the hole under the lever increases slightly.
Increase the ground clearance of the UAZA is possible by lifting the suspension. However, this method is much less reliable than raising the body and more changes the center of gravity of the car, and, as a result, increases its tendency to overturn. In any case, when lifting the car body, observe a reasonable ratio between the increase in the passability and the risk of tipping.
