Thread: 4" lift options

What about caster correction as well?

Castor correction on D2 can only be achieved with new arms, and at 4" is a necessity not a nicety.

Really? I'm only running 2 and a half inches at the moment, checked caster reading last week and I'm basically at 0° already. I want to lift higher but then I'm sure to be running negative caster and it wanders enough as it is.

Also you can achieve it with caster correction bushes instead of arms, if you wish.

I think LRA do some caster correction plates aswell but not sure how they work.

Bushes rely on the fitter setting it correctly and the larger the correction the more the load on the bushes. Plates just add another part to complexity. You're in the UK, QT, Ashcroft et al on your doorstep.

At 2" it's about as far as you'd want it uncorrected. I don't know about you roads but here we get a lot of ruts even in the bitumen due to trucks so wandering is part and parcel of driving.

4" you can run without castor correction. The issue that causes flightiness is rolling of the rear of the body. You can adjust that out if you have ACE, probably not easily if you don't..

Do you have ACE or conventional sway bars?

What make spring are you referring too? And shocks also.

I do have ACE

Hi Slunnie,

Any more info on this mate? I do have ACE

Do you think that even though I'm running at 0.2° caster at the moment, lifting another inch with spring spacers will be ok?

Don't get me wrong it would steer fantastically but be so sharp and have a lot less self centering
