apparently a part time kit eliminates this. I too have it with my 6" lift. My mate had it with his 4" lift, part time fixed it for him.

I assume its increased backlash or sometihng :?

8" will not be able to be engineered in NSW. You have to be up to 1200mm to your headlight. Me with 6" springs and 36`s brings me to 1205mm. Like everyone said your steering will be flogged out, no way to get castor without flipping your arms or new raius arms. Just a quick run down for you raduis ...

If its for only a little bit of offroad they are good. If ya want it to perform better offroad buy an 80.

If you get a surf aim for the 3ltr. Best surf motor out there. (All surfs are turbo, well the diesel varrient anyway)

dont you have to keep the panhard and steering arm at the same angle? So it really has to stay on that sharp angle...correct :? ? It handles a heaps load better after its wheel alignment.
