Help!!! what do i need for a 4" lift
Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2006 11:21 pm
hey guys, i was wondering what i would need for a 4" lift.. i have an 89 GQ turbo diesel with 2" lift and 2" body blocks. im getting brand new shocks and springs which are for a 4" lift in a GU
ive been told that due to the weight difference between the GQ and the GU, i will probably have closer to 5" of lift. these are the things that i think i will have to change;
shocks,
coils,
brake lines,
castor plates.
im assuming that i will also have to do;
panhard rods
is there any thing else? im worried about things that ive heard along the grape vine like;
drive shafts might not be long enough, and could come apart,
steering shaft might not be long enough and could come apart,
does anyone have any experience with this? any pointers or things i may have missed?
thanks guys!
