Of course, later we completely welded and painted those...

cool, thanks. I found the link to them here http://www.superiorengineering.com.au/p ... cts_id=869

has anyone got some before and after shots. my radius arms point slightly downwards, where should they be?

my truck has a 4 inch lift, I bought it that way but it steers pretty good. I was told that it has new caster bushes (probably 3 deg) in it so I am wondering if I fitted these drop boxes of (1) it would steer and ride better and (2) would I need to change the caster bushes back to standard ones...any ideas

yes you will need to put standard bushes back in. and yes it will handle better and give more flex with drop boxes.

Hell YES, you'll love it and especially if you have a 4" lift. My radius arms were well out of level before fitting drop boxes, i'm not a mechanic but fitted my boxes no probs.

Just fitted a 4" lift to my GQ and it tram tracks like a bitch, will drop boxes help that at all.

May be a different story if you have castor correction already, but maybe you don't have enough.
Only happened since the lift?
