Not essential for road use but if you want to give it some flex off road then it is reccomended. The last thing you want is to stretch and break a pipe :oops:
They are a good upgrade anyway, Braided hoses :wink: £10 each

--- Quote from: "Discotel" ---Hi mate, You do not NEED castor correction arms for a 2'' lift, althoug a lot of people fit them they are not an essential part for the lift..Just go for the +2'' shocks and spings...You wont notice a blind bit of bump steer at all, you may find it handles a little better...People will say ...Ohhh but what about the 3 degrees of change, you measure 3 degrees and see if you think its that vital.

Hm, if it weren't essential don't you think that blokes who know a damn sight more about suspension than you and I put together would have just ignored it too then?
The tolerance for steeing castor is between 1 and 3 degrees. A lift of 2" accounts for 3 degrees of castor. So a car built within tolernace can go to between 0 and minus 2 degrees.
Disco-andy:
the only thing missing off that list i can see is the panard rod. the 2 inch lift moves the frount axle to the right? (i think?) there for the vechical is crabbing down the road. a adstable rod will lengthen bring the axal back to center. Ill be fitting one of these befor the castor corection as haveing the wheels square seems logical to me.
Range Rover Blues:
But the change in effective lenght is very very small. It start to become a concern at 4 inches lift. I did the maths once, it's a small amount.
Disco-andy:
the castor angle is only 3 degres, and that seems to make a difrence. going on what others who have fitted the bits slowly. the panard rod seems to make a noticable diffrence.
