The Volkswagen Amarok isn’t exactly one of the favorite vehicles of the tuning world. But this doesn’t mean that the pick-up doesn’t get its share of modification packages. The one we talk about here comes from Delta4x4 and is aimed at improving the vehicle’s rough terrain capabilities.

”Delta4x4 rises to the challenge! The latest pickup to make its debut from a major car manufacturer is the VW Amarok. The Amarok made at VW Argentinean production plant is an understated, sensible pickup. Delta4x4 saw in the Amarok an opportunity too good to resist transforming this practical pickup into a rugged off roader capable of mixing it with the best. The Delta4x4 treatment packet starts with the wheels and the chassis,” stated the press release.

The tuning house has fitted the Amarok with a lift kit that increases its ride height with 40mm. In addition to that, the company has installed a set of lightweight alloy rims that use Mickey Thompson 275/70R18 All Terrain and Mud Terrain tires that add 50mm to the ride height.

The modification kit also includes a hand-polished stainless steel sports bar for the cargo area. The company has big plans for the Amarok, as it is currently developing a „Big Foot” conversion kit, a set of engine modifications and others for the vehicle.

„Delta4x4 have currently many designs in development; the Big Foot conversion with gigantic tires, an engine insert that delivers unbelievable performance power, and various smaller extras that make driving this VW newcomer a truly exciting experience,” stated the press release.

Umm, epic fail right there, unless they only lifted the rear because with the (retarded) front drivetrain design with the split clevis on the struts, anything more than a total 15-20mm lift binds the front CV joints and destroys them!!

Yeah, maybe in a 1990's patrol, not one of these as not only will it need to be inspected by an engineer which I doubt they would pass, it will affect the calibration of all the active and passive safety systems. This car has electronics so complex, fitting a seemingly simple tow bar becomes a nightmare.

well thats part of the mickales lift (sp) there are ways and means , i lifted my late model cherokee 4" + tyres and i was told you couldnt lift em more than 40mm drives better now with the right springs and shocks than it ever did stock

limiting you to no lift will not work a 2" lift + tyres will have this thing humming

Yes, for sure any body-on-frame car can have a body lift, but with today's regulations and ADRs, I highly doubt it could be done legally, especially on a brand new car, let alone cost effectively. To be safe, people would need to contact the local registration authority along with vw and their insurance company.

the cherokee is a unibody IFS front Solid rear so no body spacers there mate, a good set of coils up front and an add a leaf or a extended shackle at the back and some longer travel shocks will give you the lift you need, and yes when i get my amorok i will be lifting the sucker a set of 31's all should be good then the yota mob will have something to think about

So you have done a suspension lift, not a body lift. You can lift a suspension setup as far as it will mechanically still function, hell, the Amarok could be lifted by around 120mm in the rear and 75mm at the front, but I'm not willing to put a figure on the life of the 4 front CV joints lasting any more that 20,000kms at that angle, especially if the vehicle sees a slightly rough road. Hence why we have stuck to 25mm, this will give a very good service life for the CVs.

No if arb have put the research in he wont be full of it, i did see a photo of an amorok with an ARB bull bar somewhere and that would have HD front springs to cope with the weight of the bar + winch and accessories
