To Correct or Not Correct That is the Question

Hi all

Still deep in the build of the 90, and have a question for you all.

I am fitting a 2" lift using britpart yellow springs (2") and Britpart Cellular Dynamic Shocks, The front end had Terra Firma Tubular turrets fitted and it seems that the standard arms are at a slight angle now and the shocks (which are wider in girth than std) now rub the inside of the turrets where the tubes are welded to the base plate. I have read many posts about castor correction and Foundry 4x4 suggest as do many sites that anything up to and including a 2" lift do not require correction. Now i am at the stage of the build where changing this is still relatively easy as there is no body on yet. So your views on the following please:

I will be putting on a Superwinch PTO winch and bumper just for info.

1. Should i just put std turrets on leaving the shocks at a slight angle but clearing the mounts
2. Should i put on castor correction radius arms and can i do just the front or should front and back match?
3. If i castor correct do i need new props?
4. Have any of you done this?

Any help is as always greatly appreciated.

I had to correct the castor with my 2" lift because the steering was ****e. That then gave me propshaft vibration, so wide angle props were needed.
A better way of correcting castor is to fit corrected swivel balls - that doesn't put the prop at a funny angle.

With a 2" lift and the winch the front will drop with the extra weight anyway. So you'll end up with a 1.5" lift say. I think those new shocks must be very big to foul the turret. I fitted terra-firma shocks with their springs and the std turrets, it all works fine.

So... I'd send back the Britpart shocks and fit the Terra-Firma ones or get new turrets. The Swivels is the way to go if you want to correct the castor.

Swivels or modified front axle casing are the only ways to do castor correction.

as jzcktv says the winch and bumper will soon bring it back to normal
