Truck lift - Your opinion is wanted!

[MudRunnerTD]

righto fellas looking at about 2k for the job, that includes
Gear box spacer
Caster Correctors
Brake lines
Shocks
Springs
Drop box
rear arms

so that will get me going, from there I may add adjustable panhards and extended sway links etc, right now im more excited than a kid in a candy store lol

Hey Hippo,

Looking good mate, some corrections on your list though. If you go Drop Boxes (Recomended) you will not need the Caster Correction bushes aswell.

With a 4" lift you will likely need the Panards straight away mate. The Drop boxes will drop the Gear box down 12mm and may be a good thing for your pinion angle and you may not need the gear box spacers.

Being a GQ you can take the steering wheel off to realign cause it will be way out of whack but you might think about replacing the front Drag Link (Front of diff, Steering box to left front swivel hub and very exposed to damage) in the future. Guys with air bags arn't keen to take the steering wheel off so need to replace the drag link during the lift..

If your going new rear trailing arms stick with standard length or your buying trouble, if money is tight and you can only afford a single set of rear arms go the upper adjustables for a start and buy the standard length lowers when you have the cash. You only need to replace the lowers cause they are a weak link not because they dont do the job. Unlike the uppers! They WONT do the job in current length with your new setup. you will need some adjustability in your rear end to help you sort out your drive line vibrations and the uppers will help.


Good luck and have fun.
