GQ Lift

[Spudda]

Hi Guys,
Would like to know what i'd need to do in order to fit a 4" Lift in my GQ.

What would i need to change.

Apart from the obvious shocks and springs. Can you help list items and possible prices.

Cheers
Andy

Im sure this has been covered b4 but here go`s:

- Some kind of castor correction, drop boxes, drop arms or a bare minimum castor correction bushes (not my preferance although what Im using at the moment till my new setup arrives)

- Adjustable panhards front and rear.

- Longer brake lines, usually get one longer one for the rear and reuse the rear for the front.

- Recommend new steering damper

-You probablly should also get some new longer rear arms, the std ones are weak as and it is good insurance.

Im by no means an expert and have sort help from others when choosing a setup. I can recommend someone if ur interested.

You'll have to relocate all your mudflaps and maybe even trim the factory flares too if you also plan on running 33" tyres or bigger.
They''ll still rub on the inner rear wheel arches at full flex too, no stopping that really, bar mini tubbing it.

.Ur right there Dazza, one of my lower trailing arms has a dog leg in it (previous owner lol)
With longer lower arms you'd probably have to cut n shut the rear lip of the rear wheel arches too because as the rear suspension compresses the axle and wheels move rearwards because of the arc of movement, and big tyres will probably scrub. wouldn' look pretty.
