4 inch lift Install

[james14756]

Hi all,
I recently bought an 07 Patrol which supposedly had a 2 inch lift in it but it had sagged something fierce so it's time to upgrade. I was thinking of installing a 4 Inch lift, might as well upgrade a bit. Is there much involved with installing a 4 inch lift on a Patrol?

I'm fairly new to the Patrol world having come from the Pajero side of things.

4inch in illegal to start with, but will pass from and engineers report.
Here is a list of items that you will require if doing a 4inch lift.

springs
shocks
steering dampener ( if you still have the OEM one)
sway bar extensions
longer brake hoses
drop boxes
adjustable drag link
adjustable front panhard rod
adjustable rear panhard rod
adjust rear upper control arms
10mm longer real lower control arms (maybe) atleast get stronger ones.
brake bias extension bracket


I think thats is from memory. You can't just put in springs and shocks for a 4inch lift, as you are massively altering the suspension geometries and all these components will aid in getting it all correct.

Just out of curiosity. Why 4" ?
Are you planning to fit much larger tyres ?
