    Lift kit installed.
    It drives really well without the castor kit, but will install over the weekend.
    I thought the lift would have allowed the front mud flaps to be put back on, not the case.
    There is only 20mm between the wheel and inner flare, might have to cut a section of flare off to stop it catching when at flex or tyre compressed at the front.

    radius arm spacers will fix that, get some for when you do your castor correction

    My kit came with the castor correction, some say its not really needed, but if you can fit them it all helps keeping everything in line.

    They basically push the radius arms forward so the tyre doesn't hit the guard. I bought them and never bothered to fit them.
    $30 posted if you want them.

    Just need to check the distance, but will grab them off you. PM me your bank details.
    The ebay add reads
    It is recommended that you check the clearance from your diff to your panhard rod before and after fitting these Spacers. The Panhard Rod and Diff Centre run very close on some GU models depending on other suspension work that has been done on the vehicle. Pushing the diff forward with these spacers can result in the panhard rod making contact with teh diff or the front of the radius arm, affecting the articulation of the panhard rod, which can place additional stress on the panhard welds and brackets, leading to premature failure.
