4" LIFT was created by myers647

Hi this will probably have been answered before but if I lift my Jimny up to 4" do I need a prop spacer.
I have 3" springs at the minute and I have some 1" spacers to go on top.
I have adjustable panhard rods as well will these need to be adjusted if so how to.
:unsure:

Thanks
James

Its only caster correction that pulls the prop away requiring a spacer. With caster correction bushes, you may find it drives like poop with 4" of lift. Ideally you want caster corrected front arms, not bushes with 4" lift.

Or I didnt think it would make a difference to the drive if I already have castor corrected bushes I thought that as the whole point of them????

Bushes only give the correction for 2" lift. B4V did some for a 3" lift but were made of hard poly and were not ideal for flex.
Once over 2" you ideally want caster corrected arms, also the standard suzuki arms are made of cheese, mine were all bent.
