From your experience, is caster correction required on such a setup?

Thanks.

I dont believe its required on a 2" lift,but would be doing either drop boxes or ext radius arms form a 3" lift

When you lift/raise your suspension you shorten your wheel base as you lift, your front and rear axles move towards the centre of the vehicle. I went extended radius arms cause i feel they would be stronger than dropped boxes or castor correction bushes and they came as part of a complete "package" i purchased. Plenty of others have successfully used bushes and boxes.

I also installed extended lower trailing arms to put the rear diff back into position as the item was much much stronger than the origional items, again others will not bother with this modification as the rear diff flexes back under compression and can hit the rear of the arch, which has happened to me and cvaused minor panel disruption :-) Agatha aint no glamour Queen though :-)
