Sounds cool....now how about sharing all the juicy details?? :wink:

Which kit did you use?? (Make, spring rates, shocks etc..)??

I`m guessing that with 4 inches you will have had to replace the panhard rods?? Have you gone for adjustables, or fixed length to suit the lift?

Also how have you sorted out the castor? The aussies recon that drop boxes are the way to go, as you get more flex on the front end, but you can also use castor plates. I`m not sure if castor bushes can sort out a 4 inch lift?

An idea of Costs would also be cool!!
