    2" spring lift will leave you with 0 or slightly negative caster. Rotating the swivels is the best fix.

    There is also a recent thread where someone fitted a RTC damper which worked to centre the steering with a similar lift. Often wondered about that approach.

    cheers, DL

    I would advise you fix the problem with your steering/front end before bagging the bilstien damper, I have had one on the last 3 Discos and never had a problem, check your swivel pin preload, Regardes Frank.

    Dampening not so shocking.

    Food for thought: Steering Damper.
    plus a bit of info on the subject of dampers in general as well.
    Dampers.

    PS: I don't have 1 GAS shock on my truck, I only use OIL filled DAMPERS (Koni) including my Steering DAMPER.
