importance of extras when lifting was created by ne-crock
Just a question of how important the other parts of a lift kit are,

I got a bit of spare cash enough to afford 3" shock springs and brake lines, this month,

how important is it to fit panards bushes etc

i mean i could buy it and leave it off till i can afford the rest, but the likelyhood of me lasting with it sat there isnt high,

has anyone done this?

cheers
Crock

Doing a 3" suspension lift, changing bushes is not enough. You'll need new radius arms.

Well, steering won't self-centre. Would't go as far saying it's dangerous without.. But yes.. I'd correct the castor angle.

That you will also need, otherwise the axles won't under the body. I'm not sure how this will affect steering though. Try searching the forum. It has been covered before. You should also consider panhard relocating brackets, to keep the panhards level.
