Yes it catches now and then but driving about and light byways seems fine only bigger things they catch at the moment soon as I get paid again will look into the lift kit :)

You can fit a lift at home best way is to rest the chassis on an axle stand and let that side your working on hang (after you have removed the wheel) then just disconnect the shock, then you can just push the axle down by hand enough to put the spring in then just use a jack to push the axle up enough to put the shock in :)

Just make sure on the front you disconnect the anti roll bar and the brake line from its holding clip and you wont have any problems. Hope this helps :)

We'll I recently removed mine and that it's a lot smoother on and off road, all so off-road more articulation, grip, coz the front axle can move like the rear
