Can someone please tell me what is involved in lifting an 80 by 4". eg aside from the obvious (needing shocks and springs) do i also need new panhard rods, caster bushes etc?

What about with a 3" lift?

Also how high does it need to be to fit 33s or 35s?

Thanks alot.

What about with a 3" lift? just a castor kit(or redrill your standard diff - I did mine - sweet and no floggged castor bushes!

Also how high does it need to be to fit 33s or 35s? 33's - 2" lift 35"s - 3".

You can squeeze 37's under with 2" body and 3" coils... :)

Thanks alot.
