Have to drive with it for a couple weeks for it to settle then do a wheel alignment. Changed stab links at the same time. Would really recommend the comfort trailmaster! Totally different car now, not bouncy at all

I liked your grill!
I usually weld on a nut on stuck bolts, gives the same effect but more time consuming.
I recommend to also change to offset bushings in the front radius arms to correct the angles. makes it much better handling after the lift. Beware that some of the bushings being sold does not give enough correction for two inch lift.
Still managed to get green numbers on the wheel alignment print out to get it approved at the "vegvesen" though..
Steering damper as well makes for nice handling and is recommended if you go for bigger tyres..

Did you get the siping done locally? I heard a transport company in Ørsta (there is only one ) has a siping machine but i haven't gotten around to check for price yet..

Was looking at the stab links, they look like this: Is it normal that one is straight vertical and the other has an angle? Could it be because i dont have castor bushes? I loosened all the bushes when the axle was lifted and tighten afterwords
