Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Gday guys, long time no post. Anyway. I am curious as to whether or not i will have to go High Steer if i lift my lux with a 3" spring lift kit. Now silly me has already gone and bought a 3" EFS lift kit without doing much research !!!! ( IDIOT ). If i do need to buy a high steer kit, i would most likely buy it through LOCKTUP, and source my own ifs steering box, but if anyone knows of one 2nd hand i would be more than interested. Cheers, Ash

You can get away easy with a drop arm. But I would go either X- over or high steer if ya got the $$. To me, drop arms are a waste of $ if ya guuna do alot of 4x4ing. Chances you will break a J - arm as well or rip ya steering wheel out of ya hands when driving heavy ruts.

My 2 cents.

If you need a hand Ash, just sing out mate.

Righto fellas. cheers !!!

What happens is, without high steer when the drivers side of the diff drops down the shock will pivot in and bend/ put a crease in the casing of the shock. This is because you will get slot more flex then the factory springs.

I have the same lift kit and that is what happened to mine.

It is nothing major, i now have high steer and still have the same bent shock.

But be aware I did break a j arm one time. And know of others that have broken them.

Ahhh ok ... cheers mate, appreciate it.

we are in bris sth side and have that IFS steering box in a car if ur interested ,can call me on 0429647951

yea cheers rusty. i will pm you if need be.

I finished fitting my 3" EFS Spring lift kit today and also some very average 35" baja claws , and went for a quick wheel on the property. I found a few teething problems, at full d/side droop the front slip joint is very close to disconnecting, also, on the front the 35's rub on EVERYTHING even though they are at 20% tread. I tried to search for some pics of someone who has cut the gaurds, but couldnt find anything, or whether a 2" body lift would fix the problem. I also put an ifs rear diff in ( holy smokes the wheel track is wide !!! about 3 inches wider than the cab either side with 12.5' tires !!!) and found the handbrake cable is to short, though i should be able to source one from the wreckers. But other than those few problems it is all pretty sweet. I will post some pics as soon as this computer stops playing silly buggers.
