Thread: opinions on this lift kit

If you are talking about a Land Rover with a live axle in the front, why bother? You haven't changed the toe in / out and that is the only adjustable parameter of the alignment. If need be you can adjust the length of the drag link to get the steering wheel centred.

Maybe to find out the current castor angle to get a correction figure, then correct aforementioned castor to factory specs

So..........Dirtdawg did you buy the springs/shocks? If so could you give us a bit of an idea what you think of the ride now?

Bugger that, just drive it . I lifted my Rangie (not an extreme lift) and I haven't corrected the castor. They don't all need it. If castor correction is required, the vehicle will let you know .
