5 inch kit ey, ive got my bets on having to do the castor maybe, definetly the bake lines, if its got extended shackles come to think of it you will need 3 degree correction plates for the castor off memory. What brand is the kit? Is yours ifs? Cheers

:finger: You'll be getting them when you need a tow :rofl: :rofl: Nah your right dude the bank loves me anyways yeah need a drop draglink as with that amount of lift a stock draglink will not work right and adjustable torque rod will also be a wise buy i'd be thinking more than 3degree you can fit it, get it checked at a place that does wheel alingments and then buy wedges to get it back within spec's or call http://www.superiorengineering.com.au/p ... category=4
and he will be able to match up what you need

35's and front locker i'd be budgeting for a set of longs as the toyota cv's just don't last and if you just keep replacing with stock ones you'll end up spending more than just buying longs first up. so howw far foward are you going with the diff for the 35's

Mine had Rh perch drilled to match the lh side which is 33mm/35mm one of the 2 and it still gave the guards some loving so done RUF(rears up front) and now they don't hit it also has a drop hanger now, RUF will get 50mm. what is the lux used for

Just to do RUF you need to run extened shackles if you don't mind beating the inner guard with a sledge for a while just drill the pearches then all you need is a shorted draglink and if your handy you should be able to shorten the torque rod just cut it to right lenght find some pipe thats a neat fit and weld it like a sleve on it also a longer front tailshaft or spacer

i have a 4" lift from superior eng, i also run 33's and have moved the diff forward bout 35mm like as said and i still have the tyres hit the guards(front and rear of front inner guard) and thats with an extra leaf in the front packs. (Great wheel travel surprisingly)

Also you will need to extend the brake bias bracket on the rear diff, prob 4 degree wedges... and every thing else mentioned..

Also i have a lockrite, was not real good in the front (locks up the steering sometimes) but is great in the rear. Everyones opinion is different but, but i think they are awesome..
