Is my lift kit been done right?
Hi guys, I brought my GQ with a 6inch lift kit (I know it's a bit big) I'm looking at lowering it to 4 inch though. Now the old girl is a bit rough round the edges, a lot of extras have just been slapped together on it. I am slowly fixing thing up on it. Reading other posts about lift kits I know they have done a couple things right. It has adjustable panhards, but the draglink is non adjustable. I really haven't any a clue what other components they should of upgraded. Little help please.

Pretty much anything over 2 or 3inch needs front and rear adjustable panhards, adjustable drag link to correct the steering wheel, on the rear you will need to change the upper control arms at the minimum. I used adjustable ones to correct the diff angle, I also used 10mm longer lower arms.
6inch is a massive lift, even 4 on a GQ looks pretty gnarly. Unless your running 37's or bigger, its a bit of an overkill maybe.

Well it's only got 33's with 10inch rims, but it doesn't look that out of place believe it or not. It's a n/a diesel so bigger tyres aren't the go, to slow I'm thinking. Pretty sure it hasn't drop boxes, I'll take photo and put them up later so you guys can tell me what I need.
