This is using polybushes on castor arms & panhards and trailgear steering bars and its not even hinting of lifting a tyre at that...

Not very noticeable in the image.
Yes, the extra length will have more leverage on the twist, However, I think the front radial arms are longer than the back if I remember correctly.

On the steering side. I also thought this is the only thing left. However from my tests, I Jacked up the RHS (looking from the front of the car) This is the side where the steering rod connects, and the other side of the diff could not droop. I cant see how the steering rod would hold it up all the way from the other side?
I have a mater with a stock Jimny suspension without swaybar, and it can flex beautifully, So all the stock components cant be limiting it that much.

sniper wrote: Your Anti Roll Bar is still attached, has this been "dropped" to suit the lift? The lift will have altered the mounting angle of the ARB and could well have added an unwanted preload if it is not lowered on the chassis side with blocks.
Repeat your articulation inspection with the ARB drop links removed. Hopefully, you'll get a lot more movement in the front axle.
You can fit an ARB disconnect which breaks the ARB in the centre with a weld on fitting that then allows free rotation when the bolts are removed.
Some just completely remove the ARB and drive the car accordingly (cornering gently due to body roll).
The 4x4Art kit does work well.

Did someone mention Anti-Roll Bar Spacers?
