After a 2 inch lift

[ckh]

Feels more like a 3 or 4 inch lift compared to before, the old springs must have really been sagging..

You may find after a little while it will settle down just a little, and depending on the brand some sit taller than others.
Did you measure before and after????

Looks good mate, your old springs where likely sagged badly and probably most of your trouble.

I reckon you will like it allot.

How did you go with the front bushes?


****Side note****

have a look at how you are hosting your pics there mate, Drop Box sux for working with Forums! Is fine for file sharing big files but just slow and cumbersome managing photos here. Takes a heap of time to view each pic and its REALLY slow. Also the pics then open on individual tabs which sux.

Check out some photo hosting sites. I use Photobucket and its free and easy and fast and your pics will be embedded in these pages with the tap of a key for all to see while in your threads.

Check it out its free and easy to use.

Cheers MR

He did the caster correction bushes, he said under both front and rear of my truck is like new, dont know of I'm looking for something that isnt there but I told him there was still a slight shake, he made comment on he notice my motor was leaning a little to the left in the engine bay, and that it could be a crook engine mount, next thing I know he calls me up to say to pick new mounts up from him for free after 10AM today. So will have new mounts in it tomorrow. but after the lift it does drive like a completely different, and no problems with over steering its just as snappy as before around corners...not heavy to steer and doesnt feel like a boat....

Before lifting her, the top of the bull bar came just past my hip, and on the rear end I could get my hand sideways between the top of the tyre and the wheel arch, now bull bar is up near my chest, and I coud put my head between the tyre and wheel arch at the rear end..

Must be happy with the result then CKH, and who ever is working on your 4x4 knows his stuff and looking after you, free engine mounts gotta like that.
Like yor tyre cover too, pity there are still idiots out there

Here is a before and after compare since getting the 2 inch lift done and tyre power guy said ever thing under the front and back is either new or like new..

Finally got around to swapping the mounts, the left one was cracked and worn badly, the motor now sits a little straighter, but still has a slight lean to the left.... is this normal?

Wow those photos are huge!!! Resize them please.

Feels higher than 2" doesn't it ;) My wife still argues with me about that... let's not mention what the larger tires will do ;)

First test drive after the lift, I actually fell out of the truck when getting out :)
