hello all,
first post here. Would like some help anyone. Just recently become an 80 series owner. I now know what i've been missing out on.
1995 GXL petrol. First thing i have done was put front and rear airlockers in. I want to put 315 tyrs on it but don't know the best way to go. Was hoping to do a 4 inch suspension lift however the guy i talked to reckons that i will get vibaration in the front because of the angle on the front driveshaft. He tells me that I would have to convert it to part time 4x4 for anything over 3 inches even with castor correction. talking another thousand dollars on top of the lift. So then I thought maybe a 3inch suspension and 2 inch body. Can anyone tell me whether I will get FULL articulation with this arrangement. Your thoughts on a 4 inch suspension lift would be appriciated as well. any advice please.
