This is what I am looking at, is there anything else I need to get? If so what?

I know there is probably a thread that answers this question but I am after a quickish response. As I will be picking the car up within the week.

Thanks,
Richo

You need to make a brake proportioning valve bracket or buy one off snake for $22.

I'd strongly recomend you get heavy duty rear control arms asap because if you bend one bad enough you can rip the pinion out of the rear diff which isn't pretty.

Also did you buy a shorty or LWB?

Cheers Mick.

Thanks guys, Mick I will be picking up a LWB hopefully next week, fingers crossed. The control arms, are they adjustable or fixed? Reason I ask is I was going to fit the lift myself, and then get a wheel alignment when the 35s go on straight after the lift. Along with all the other info here I don't think it will be to hard a job, something for the weekend. :cool:

I would also say and adjustable HD Drag link to take the steering back to standard.

And as mick said some HD adjustable control arms. As when you lift the wheel truck you shorten the wheel base, so you need to adjust these to re-center the diff under the back of the truck, esp with running 35's. (hence the snake drop arms push the front diff forward 10mm)

When i put the 4" lift in mine I found that the 33's rubbed (badly) on the rear mudflap's, before i had the arms adjusted and that was nowhere near maximum compression.

You may also need a new Steering Damper to suit the different (pin) mount on the Panhard. But this depends how it originally mounted. Mine was eye to eye originally, but got changed to a pin to pin mount after i fitted my 4" lift

You can get either. I would recomend you get non adjustables for the bottom and adjustables for the top, even if you get them at a later date.

The adjustable lower ones seem to bend easier because the threaded area makes it a weak spot in the arm.

Cheers Mick.
