Hi,
I'm all ready to lift the Disco 2 by 2" - except... I've not factored in castor correction.

Are castor correction radius arms or a similar adjustment advisable? I seem to have read that its possible to lift by 2" and manage without them. Any advice welcomed.

Suck it and see would be my advise.

But I wouldn't use castor corrected arms, get swivels or a re-jigged axle casing.

Thanks Guys - looks like may not be essential. I'll do the lift first (when the weather improves) and then see what she goes like. May help spread the cost too )

It all depends on what you can live with. You will find the steering a little lighter, it will not return to centre as easily after taking a corner, and you will get more feedback through the steering wheel from bumps etc.
