2" lift

[GazT]

Hi all,

I am soon to carry out a two inch lift on my 90.

Firstly, is an adjustable panhard rod necessary or recommended as I have heard various schools of thought on this. A two inch lift results in the necessity of a 5mm longer rod (I have been told) or your tracking will be out (crabbing).

Secondly, I understand that the lift will put extra stress on the joints of the front propshaft in particular. Which is the best remedy for this...a double joint carden propshaft or simply a wide yoke prop.

Both the carden prop and adjustable panhard rod are expensive items and I don't want to waste what little money I have if it is not of clear and practical benefit.

Cheers,

Gaz.

Hi, I have had lifts on a disco and a defender and have not altered anything to do with steering geometry or prop shaft, seems ok.

got a lift on my 90 and not had any detrimental steering issues with vibration or bumpsteer.
only problem i have encountered is that the UJs on the props tend to wear out a bit quicker........ or maybe thats just my love of gritty muddy silt filled bomb holes!

Hi Nick,
Me thinks better props will have to be fitted to mine. Front one has been repaired already and is due for a change.
