    the only thing you'll find it you're steering wheel will no longer be straight when your wheels are in the straight ahead position, to straighten mine I've gotta get an adjustable drag link (I think) but it doesnt bother me so I not gonna worry about it just yet

    In the past when fitting a 2" lift I never used to fit castor bushes until I had one new Nissan play up. So now I only suggest to fit castor bushes, but advise to wait and see how it feels on the road.

    I myself do like the steering a bit heavy then normal and I find that a castor kit gets the feel I like..

    But as said, springs & shocks possible steering dampener if on the old side, or if tending to pull to one side a "Return to Center Dampener" if needed.

    Cheers
    David

    Bugged me wheel off centre so I got a adjustable "drag Link?" and all sweet now.
    Like thumbs round wheel at 9 to 3 so had to fix it.
    Was told some models have adjustable links, mine was not one of them!!!!
    Sorry mate should have mentioned that before as part of the mod list with a lift.

    I guess it's clear that not many Patrologists like Ironman or TJM and nearly everyone seems to favour OME, not much mention of Koni's.
    I have been a fan on Koni shocks for most of my cars(sedans), so not clear in the 4wd stakes.
    I hate sales people cos they sell their products as the best in the market and dog the rest of them. ( especially Ironman and Tough dog).
    Hmmmm......... I don't have a Tough dog quote yet. RDO tomorrow, let's see what they have to say.

    I am watching all the suspension threads as I am shopping too.

    Have you given any thought to the Suspension Stuff kit? http://www.suspensionstuff.com.au/sh...oducts_id=4046

    It has a very good rap on all the Patrol forums around with excellent after sales service too. I think I'll most likely give it a go.

    I think the OME kit would be worth consideration too.
    2007 CRD Ti Patrol - springs, shocks, tyres, dual batt, bits of NADS here and there… (lots more to come)
