    2" lift question.

    Guys,

    I was pricing a 2" lift from ARB. The chap recommended that in addition to the lift, a castor kit would be required to correct castor angle. Is this necessary, with a lift of this height?

    Nick.

    What was the cost from ARB?
    I am considering Ironman, as I had that on my last vehicle, with foam cell shockers & found it very good.

    If its a D2 then that is absolute rubbish! One of the awesome things about D2s is that you can lift them a fair bit and not need to correct castor. I dont think the ARB guy knows what he is talking about.

    You would probably need it on a Pootrol or Toymota...

    The ARB gear is ok, but they charge like wounded bulls. If your after a low cost setup the iron man is relatively good value. You will easily pay doubel for an ARB OME setup.

    ARB OME kit unfitted, springs and shocks $1168. Fitting $236. CAstor kit fitted $313.

    If you have an Ironman price, plz let me know. BTW this was for a 00 D2.

    From memory my brother in laws ironman setup cost about $8-900? This didnt include a steering dampener. Gave him a pretty good lift too.

    I bought OME 2 inch coils and ride pro shocks for $420 and my mechanic fitted them for $200 no castor correction required. A 2 inch is not a big lift and does not impede the driveability of a D1 or a D2.
