--- Quote from: "landroverkeith" ---i understood that a even a 2" lift need the castor angles changing?? thats why ive only bought a 1" setup to fit :shock:
--- End quote ---
2" is the pojt at which the debate seems to start. Depending on how your car was built the tolerance for steering castor is 3 dgrees plus/minus1. A 2" lift rotates the axle by 3 degrees, so the resultant castor can be 0 plus/minus1 degree.

I like the look of the ES lifted, as for the castor question, ive lifted mine 2" and haven`t really noticed any steering issues, perhaps thats more luck than judgement who knows!! Have herd that fitting shims in the front of the c bar bushies on the chassis end is a quick fix you have self centering problems on the steering, never tryed it my self but sound like it could work :D

well ive just had my new tyres delivered and fitted and what can i say but....
WOW WEEEEEE!!!!!
god im in love with my truck, sorry monster truck now lol
i order 4 greenway machos 265/75 r16 from tyres direct on saturday and he said he would send them out on monday and should recieve them in 3 working days.... so i come back from work on tuesday to find that i cant get in through the front door, after just been able to sqweez past i find the thing stoping me getting in where my new tyres
i felt like i little boy at christmas :D wow these thing are big!!!! i thought id never be able get them ftted under my arches..... loads bigger than my normal 235/70 r16's plus them been mud tyres the grip makes them bigger
next day i took them down the local tyre garage to get them fitted to the modulars i already had...i had new valves and got them fitted and balanced all for £15... bargan!!!!
i rushed home to get them fitted to my truck to see where i would have to cut the archies away just to be able to get them to fit, but quess what...... i didnt have to....
the only problem i had was it rubbed on the end caps of my front bumper, so i soon took that off :wink: .. well i usualy take it off when i go off roading anyway
i cant belive that the only thing i had to do was take the end caps off... i didnt have to adjust the steering stops as they dont rub anywhere, i didnt have to cut the archies to get them fit... i just cant believe it
BUT!!!!! i do now when i take it off roading it will nock the rear quarter up when the suspension goes up into the wheel arch and maybe nock up the lips on the wheel arch.... but for road use its great and the tyres are very good.... thought they would be crap on the road
well heres some pics for you lot, its dirty at the mo but just tryed to keep it in the same place so you can see the difference betwwen the other pictures
