Hilux 3" suspension lift, what else is needed???

Post by brad 93hilux »

Hi i am putting a 2" suspension lift with 2" extended shackles an climax shackles on the rear, i know that i have to extend the brake lines but arb said i also needed an ajustable torque arm and a whole heap other stuff.

Does any one know for sure what i need coz they arn't really sure and i don't wanna buy things i don't need (its only 3" lift)

P.s. i have a 1993 hilux with 33/12.5, duel cab.

cheers brad :armsup:

Adjustable torque rod , dropped drag link & raise your brake bias bracket where the arm attaches to the rear diff should be about it

What about caster wedges, i read on superior engineering site that you need 3 degree caster wedges because when you go 2" extended shackles you alter the caster angle which affects steering geometry.

Does any one know about this? Where do the caster wedges go? (i think under the spring but not sure.
