Phone or not, ace pics Nick

I'm just about to fit a 2" lift onto mine.... does this mean I have to do something extra to reinstate the self-centering ?

Sorry for the hijack :whistle:

Yes, you'll want to fit caster correction bushes. Available from big Jimny etc. I might for some eventually but I'm used to skittish wheel alignment on my sprint car so it doesn't bother me much.

A steering damper can help with the feel.

I relocated my front axle to reinstate the caster angle.....after fitting a steering damper all day long laning is quite sedate.....with thumb resting on the wheel where before I spent hours with white knuckles gripping the wheel!
