What lift has it got in the pics above mate? Just spring spacers?

Looks well! Im always put off by the talk of steering shaft, gear leaver adjustments etc with the body lifts, dunno exactly whats needed though for 2" so i will be interested to hear :-)

Keep it up :-)

Well,

I got my pro comp es1000 and +3" lift.
Blue extended braided hoses and blue poly bush caster correction kit.
Also my ORA 2" lift!

I have in situ 2" spring spacers and shock relocation brackets.
I have done nothing to the caster with the spacers and it's fine and Dandy!
I will be leaving the spacers in situ.
I am looking at +5 and a 2" body lift with the correction bushes it should be the same as +2 with no correction as I run now.
Then when the kl71's wear out I will fit 31" special tracks or similar,
I have 36mm wheel spacers to make it a touch more stable!

Let her rise!!!

Fgigsrghj oihffsdghii khvfdsetuiokhhszghn!!!!!!!!!!
That's how peed off I am!!!!
Lifted!
Adjustable panhard rods!
Long hoses!
Castor correction bushes!

Checked the tracking, 1/2 degree out.
Pulls to the off side like a bar steward!
Can't seem to get the panhards sorted so the axels are level.

Half wish I had never bothered!!!!

Frustrated!

the panhard just centres the axel - adjust panhard till the axle is centre on the car after the lift

when you say axel is not level do you mean the axle / diff is pointing up after lift ?
if you have +3" springs and +2" spacers you have 5" lift and castor correction bushes are only really effective on 2" ish lift, you really need proper caster corrected radius arms like the ones offroad armoury sell for their 4.5" lift kit, that will sort you out, until then i would loose the 2" spring spacers which will help alot
3" spring lift with a 2" body lift may work with your current setup
hope this help :)

just another thought gaz - is the steering wheel off centre after the lift ? it may try and self centre also causing the car to pull to one side
good luck and hope you get sorted
