I can tell you that it's not going to be labeled a "northface" or "limited" body lift, you need a lift for a 98-00 ranger, performance accessories #883. As for getting the parts in the UK, couldn't you just find a company in the US that'll ship international?

Cost is the issue.. If I remember right when I researched it for one of the UK members, basically shipping plus the VAT killed any chances of buying one from any of the normal suppliers.. The body lift runs about $180 in the US but shipping would be almost $130 for it plus the 18% VAT or whatever it was..

Yes you have it dead right, by the time we get it here its added to in vat and with the delivery its often just not worth it!
We can get some stuff and here are one or two examples.

To buy an EGR bonnet guard in smoke acrylic costs £70.00, bet you can get it around half that!
Moog balljoints two bottom and 2 upper with arms, £270.00!
Get the picture guys?
At these prices you would think twice too eh?

Wow. I'd just send a friend money to buy themselves the body lift kit, then when they decide they dont want it have them send it to me as a gift.
