DCV's Force Gurkha with Lift Kit! More than 10 Inches of Ground Clearance!

A short video about Blue Garage Lift Kit along with 33 inch Radar Renegade RT plus tyres installed on a Gurkha to give it amazing ground clearance of around 275 mm!!

[@DCVExpeditions]

Nice details Manuj bhai. As the alignment work is little tricky on this vehicle, these details can help people get the setup right.

[@IndianOverlander]

Your trial is going to help many people Dinesh bhai. Many including me have been thinking about getting this for a while but you took the first plunge and we are eagerly awaiting your review videos about the lift kit performance so we can decide also to go for it or not. Must say your decision about the 285 75 tyres has transformed Roadroller! He is looking 👌🤘!!

[@tripaccino]

Nice video and good lift ! I’ve been planning the lift myself and must be done by next week . 👍

[@IndianOverlander]

Will you be sticking to 245 75 16. I am thinking about 235 85 16 or 265 75 16 post lift.

[@tripaccino]

@@IndianOverlander I’ll run the Maxxis 245/75/16 itself . Happy with the sweet spot now. Great for steering and off-road also. Don’t want to upsize too much unless the lifted truck asks for it. Let’s see 🤠will exchange notes with you 👍

[@deveshsharma_mountainshrink]

@@IndianOverlander those RT treads and alloys still give it a good stance!

Wah wah manuj Bhai Dinesh Bhai made his car actual monster now 😍😍😍 on diwali my Gurkha also going to be deliver. after that will see if you'll put the same lift kit in your car. Then after your and dcv feedback will also going to put the same.

[@IndianOverlander]

I am also waiting for his feedback before i order my lift kit. 🙂🙏

[@TheLazyWandererMys]

I think what Dinesh has done though gives a superb truck like stance, its probably not for everyone. Its good for people who do offroading regularly. But for someone only wanting the stance but drives mostly on road, they probably could opt for the lift kit with 18" wheels with tyres that are more road biased unlike MT you guys use. But hats off to you guys who experiment with your SUVs, your research will help alot of owners and may even swing a few in favour of Gurkkha over its competitors.

[@IndianOverlander]

Thanks brother! Though what we are using are not MT tyres. These are Rugged terrain tyres (RT). Have made a video about these also. Do take a look. 🙂

[@TheLazyWandererMys]

@@IndianOverlander Oh yeah, i did see the video, forgot it was RT 😅

[@ScooterNinja]

You remember in 2020 Auto Expo they had lifted Gurkha display model ? I wonder if Force folks could provide some suggestions for lifting..

[@IndianOverlander]

I think the kit was developed by Blue Garage with some basic inputs from Force. Many vehicles in South India are using this kit now.

[@kaverikathuria1814]

[@IndianOverlander]

Same here! Waiting for DCV to give his report after a few weeks/months of use. If all is well then i will also go for it!

[@prakashjishnu09]

Hi bro . I have found something interesting. If you replace front bumper with force cruiser bumper , it will improve the front view and the design will be more proportionate. The vehicle will have boulder look.

[@soorajrajendran22787]

This is beautiful! I totally agree that this should have been the stance of Gurkha from the beginning! Thank you so much for posting it the very next day I requested for this content! If you do this mod, please do a detailed installation vedio and review of how it worked out to be! If you get a chance, please also take this lifted Gurkha to the same off-road trail to which you took your gurkha! Would love to watch it crushing the off-road trails! Thank you for posting these videos. I also feel changing the company fitted fenders with flared fenders as shown in monster grurkha during auto expo will solve the fender touching problem and it will also enhance the looks to a great extent! Another Gurkha brother has also done a mod to solve this issue. You can also check this vedio in the link - this brother has also solved the issue by modifying the anti-skid plate at the bottom - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5epeIltpbN0g7s My conviction to get a gurkha gets stronger a stronger watching your videos!

[@Murphytrivedi]

Waited a long time to see your video… where have you been lately?

[@IndianOverlander]

There was nothing new to report bhai 🙏🙂

[@Shaikh.Muhammad786]

The Stance 🤩 Will this lift kit and big tyres affect the performance and the mileage of the vehicle? Also increasing the height is how safe in mountain corners ? Reply is highly appreciated:)

[@IndianOverlander]

The width of tyres and offset of alloys do provide stability but its a tall car so not made for zipping around corners. Will have to take the hill roads at normal pace and steadily. The width, diameter and weight of the tyres along with the change in drag coefficient caused by a higher vehicle will all contribute to a drop in fuel efficiency. Its a trade off between performance or economy. The same lift kit with less aggressive tyre modifications may be more suitable if looking to preserve economy but will not give the same performance benefits that DCV has extracted from his Gurkha.

[@Shaikh.Muhammad786]

@@IndianOverlander Perfectly Explained! Thank You

[@ThegoofystupidShivin]

Is it legal to lift? Challan to Nahi hota in city like Delhi ? Also, do you face any trouble in parking in basement such as mall underground parking, going through tunnels etc ?

[@IndianOverlander]

Any alteration to a motor vehicle has been deemed illegal by the Hon'bl Supreme Court. But u dont think cops may be able to make out the difference between a lifted and non lifted Gurkha. Both are tall vehicles. After lift kit installation many mall underground parkings will be out of bounds. Tunnels will bot be an issue as many buses and trucks also use them.

[@apnagaon6498]

hi Sir,, can you tell me about the steering feedback..does it become too heavy with the 285 section tyre ...did you take the test drive of DCV gurkha.. please enlighten us

[@IndianOverlander]

It remained surprisingly light even with the 285 75 16 tyres. I personally do not recommend these size tyres. The ideal size is 245 75 16 (30.5 inch)or 235 85 16 (31.7 inch)

[@apnagaon6498]

@@IndianOverlander any specific reason sir....why are you not recommending ... any negative feedback..

[@IndianOverlander]

@@apnagaon6498 no negative feedback as such. But my experience over 3 decades has shown me that wider tyres are not always the best solution. They increase load on the drivetrain, increase unsprung weight, contribute to higher fuel consumption and are more expensive among other reasons.

All Gurkhas have front and rear manually operated differential lockers.

[@frontview7549]

how much is a lift kit ?

[@IndianOverlander]

20,000 plus installation extra about 3000

[@scorpio9156]

10 inches or 10 cm? 1 inch = 2.5 cm or 25 mm So 10 inches will be 250 mm height increase Are you sure about this.

[@IndianOverlander]

10 inches of total ground clearance now. Not 10 inches of lift. His Gurkhas ground clearance now is around 10.8 inches (270 mm) compared to mine which is around 7.5 inches. So he has gained 3 inches of total lift.

[@damienshai3408]

Just a question, does adding a lift kit and steel bumpers affect the warranty of the vehicle?

[@IndianOverlander]

Steel bumpers are positively illegal. They are not airbag compliant. No need for steel/ metal bumpers with the lift kit in Gurkha. Just need fender lining and very little bumper trimming to fit large tyres like 285. For 265 width tyres even bumper trimming will not be required. Warranty should ideally not be affected by installing this lift kit. Metal bumpers may affect warranty.

To be honest the lift kit has been on my Radar for a long time. If the feedback of DCV about the kit is good after a month or two of use then i will surely go for it. Nothing like peace of mind while offroad on rocky trails. My Fortuner had a lifted suspension from Ironman and it was the best decision i ever made!

[@IndianOverlander]

Isn't the Gurkha Extreme with 3 inch body lift legal? His Gurkha is now around then same ground clearance as the Gurkha Extreme. In any case he has done it more out of necessity than for showing off. I don't understand why normal functional mods are targeted when they pose no hazard.

[@gautam2rajpal]

I doubt cops will be able to understand the difference 🤦‍♂️ hoping all goes well. Having said that, looking forward for a detailed review from DCV on how it performs initially and in the long run.
