These will not require castor correction bushes, You can use your original bushes or if they have seen better days then they can supply either Polybushes or Original bushes, I personally have the polybush as they are much tougher.

You may also require a prop spacer, this can be ordered as an option on the same listing.

Il be going down the route shortly, what about Panhard rods? Do you need adjustable ones or can you just get the Panhard rod relocator from jimny bits? Also do you new one for the front and back or just rear?

Why do these require a prop spacer? What are the symptoms of not having one? How do you decide whether you need a 12.5mm or 25mm prop spacer?

I just fitted correction arms for a 4.5'' lift and required a 25mm prop spacer, So id guess that correction arms for a 3'' lift will require a 12.5mm spacer. A spacer was not required with my castor correction bushes as they are really for a 2'' lift.

You will find that the front prop will fowl on the cross member if no spacer is fitted, the spacer is fitted to the rear of the front prop against the transfer box. This will then allow adequate clearance for the front prop.

You will need to adjust both the front and rear panhard rods.
The relocator is just for the rear.
Id personally get a pair of adjustable rods.
You will find that with a lift your axles will pull to the right.
