    Too easy. I think I have some radius arm spacers here too you can have which will push your diff forwards too. You shouldn't need off set bushes for a 2inch lift. Did Pro axle check all that out for you? They did with mine, and mine is all 100% spot on. My camber was slightly out but I didn't want to use those bearings so I left it at that and just rotate my tyres at every service.

    Its easy. make sure your wheels are dead straight first, dont worry about the steering wheel, just remove the ball joint end at the steering arm, straighten the steering wheel, the undo the lock nut on the drag link, and wind the ball joint in or out until it seats back in the steering arm without the wheel moving. Sometimes you may move the arm and the steering wheel goes a bit out, but you simply rinse and repeat until straight.

    I took my Patrol there for an alignment and I got sent home.
    He told me because I just have a basic 2" lift kit he can't align it.

    I need an adjustable this and an adjustable that.. I forgot exactly which parts but yeah .

    Yeah Campbellfield. Obviously a 2inch lift will vary between brands on how each car is sitting, an adjustable drag link is a given I think, panhard rods you might get away with but you can see this by eye when looking at the vehicle, if one wheel is sticking out of the guard further than the opposite wheel. If they are not, adjustable panhards are what is required.
