I put a 2" lift on and all seemed to go ok but once I put bigger tyres on and took it off road a lot of vibration has started on top of the mt whine. It sort of rattles as well lol

2" lift
« Reply #8 on: March 17, 2006, 08:47:37 »
I plan to fit bigger tyres next week so I'll keep my fingers crossed on that score. The initial road test was good and I am not suffering from any vibration etc. The lift took me 3 evenings of working outside in these artic conditions. The work wasn't complicated it just took ages because every nut and bolt was seized on. I ended up having to cut the bottom nut off every shock, and had to mess about for hrs with some of the more inaccessible fixings. I Will be testing things off road over the Easter holiday when we are on the mud club Wales weekend.  :D  :D  :D

No I just fitted the 2" lift and nothing else. No vibration at any speed and I have just travelled over 200 miles on the Motorway at betweenh 70 & 90 mph so I think that any faults would have showed by now.

mines lifted two inch, no vibrations, you will only need the castor corrected radius arms when you go lower turrets dislocation cones etc, that what it seams on mine anyway, spring will not relocate properly otherwise,

these are near top of shopping list, then will see if get front prop vibrations!
