It will wander all over the road. If you have to brake on a rough surface. . . . hang on!

If you do, let me know if you plan to drive to the South side of Brisbane and I will stay home that day.
Most important is castor correction and brake lines, then proportioning valve bracket, then panhards, sway bar extension brackets and then shocks

.

You would be ok until you had to hit the brakes. It may go straight the 1st or 2nd time but be prepared for some major swerving.

Castor correction plates are only $170 anyway.

lol, I took a 5" lifted 80 for a test drive when lookin for an 80. It still had factory everything . Notihng was changed, only lifted.

Was that scary to drive. All over the road while doin like 40km/h. And when I braked, I near sh1t myself.

Would not recomend it + no insurence will cover you in an acca (the cops wont be happy either)

Buy some caster plates and your heaps ahead...the rest is up to you...the front driveshaft will most probably need some work too if you have constant 4wd...it will drive you crazy vibrating.

wats the big deal. its been in for a week and drives alright .

Problem is that there are other people on the road. It won't be a big deal until it is too late. Anyway you stick to your side of Brisbane and I will stick to mine. I will pm both of you when I plan to go to the North side so I know where you are.

How about I give you a special price on castor plates. For the 1st tool to pm me out of you two I will give $50 off for castor plates which makes it $120 and I will freight them for free.

Yea, you think it drives well. Fit castor plates and you will be surprised by how bad it was driving

so why ask a question about how it drives 5 days after you installed it?? You would've already known the answer
