As for the body lift + spring lift... you'll see more stability out of this due to the fact that you're not getting as much suspension roll.

Hey guys,

Mate, go with the suspension lift, body lift isn't all its cracked up to be... I run 4" suspension and 2" body lift in my GQ... I'd take out the body lift if I didn't have to modify all the bar work to bring it back down.

The ratio is on the crownwheel, it has to be divided out though as it will say 37:9 or something similar.

Do the bearings, much easier!

The Panhard? When you say fixed did you simply straighten it or replace it? If you simply straightened it it will be significantly weaker - Get yourself a new one!

Do you have lift? If so how much? It could be a variety of things causing this.
