Title: Lift kit
Post by: benjwom on December 10, 2007, 14:05:20

Hi,

My nearside rear standard height spring needs replacing, and I am looking at swapping them all for a 2" lift.

Can I just confirm, will I need new extended shockers to account for the lifted springs, and will I be alright with the standard brake hoses, radius arms, trailing arms? Also will it affect the steering adversely? I guess the steering wheel will point left when the wheels are straight due to new angle on steering arm?

Thanks guys, sorry if this topic has been covered before.

Ben
