Hi, and welcome. What you need to do is to use the search function on this forum. You will find a lot about this topic. With 2" I changed the brakelines (longer) and caster corrected bushes in the radius arms up front.

Hi Welcome, Ditto what Strek says, assuming you're fitting + 2ins springs and shocks, you'll need to fit the longer brake flexy hoses ( www.llama4x4.co.uk ) first or at the same time especially at the back (otherwise you can't get the axle to drop far enough to get the un compressed springs in). I haven't got round to fitting my caster correction bushes yet but be prepared for a bit of wandering and tramlining if you don't.

Ive got a pair of KAP front arms ready to go on (castor sorted) so i think it will be okay when done.
Ive read that there is a little problem with the rear shock mounts but there are mods avalable to sort things out, is it worth doing??:unsure:
Also would the panard rod need to be tweeked :huh:
Thanks again guys, hope to hear from you again soon...col
