Why? Lift and suspension travel does not necessarily have anything to do with articulation.

I agree, that most remove the ARB for better articulation. But it is not a must.

Wats the whole point of a suspension lift then. Have u still got your roll bar on

As i just wrote.
Why do you think many comp trucks have swaybars fitted? I know these swaybars are torsion-bars that stilll allow some articulation. But they are fitted to reduce body-roll, just like the ARB. Which is why some may want to keep their ARB on, also to reduce body-roll when offroading.

I have removed my ARB. But wil try putting it on again to reduce bodyroll when offroading. This of course mostly when drive along slopes, and not just up and down them

I know most of us don't drive comp trucks. But with a 3-4" lift, body roll is increased.

take the pan hard rod length draw it as a triangle with the opposite angle being the 3 inch lift the hypotenuse does not become a inch shorter

I love this topic coming up. Myself and my girlfriend both have a jimby each, mines an 07 reg hers is 51 plate both have 3" suspension lift mines a big jimny kit hers is a jimny bits one neither have castor correction arms or uprated pan hard rods and both are fantastic off-road neither get stuck anywhere both running 30" tyres also and have no ARB fitted as they catch the springs

how is it to drive on the road with the caster being wrong?

I don't notice it tbh... It doesn't self center the steering as well but other then that I didn't notice a difference

Mine has recently started pulling to the right but I think it's because when you lift a vehicle the axles go out if center so they are stuck out more on side then the other... This is cured with adjustable panhard rods

I worked out that if a panhard was 48 inch ( got to be around that cant measure as im at home) then you go up 3" then it only gets 0.9 of a inch longer been awile since had to work that out so mite be wrong
