Great info and insights. Where can one get everything dialed in correctly so the suspension, steering etc is all perfectly balanced for a 3” loft?

Wow if fuel was a dollar a gallon here in Australia we'd be laughing! Current retail price of diesel fuel at a service station in Sydney or Newcastle regions is averaging a bit over A$1.50 a litre at present.
But yes it's an interesting demonstrating of how economies of scale work. TBH I am amazing there's never been manual gearbox radius arm drop boxes made for Australia and ADR approved (Aus equiv of DOV approval) for public road use. But with 25 million instead of 250 million people there's 1/10th the market of the USA.
And because Australia (like the UK and other places) is a RHD country, all the steering components are different to those for the USA (a LHD country).
We do have good well-engineering aftermarket stuff but probably a lot more limited in scope.
I think I’m interested in your brackets, exactly what do you have? Pics please?$185 shipped

Try to find the brackets. I used the bushings and only lasted a little over one year and the truck still had suspension issues. Once I installed the Drop brackets, the truck behaved like it was never lifted, more like OEM.In looking at all the options for caster correction for a 2.5” OME lift, it looks like their drop brackets are the best and easiest option for caster correction when I don’t do much serious off roading. Both the bushings and the plates seem to require extra labor and special tools, making the brackets same easiest. I also read that those other options seem to present vibration and other challenges.
Because of this, Im thinking of staying with stock height because the lift seems to not be a simple plug-and-play installation.
As another option for a lift, I am wondering if 30 mm spacers alone require caster correction?
Lastly, because I do not have the skills or time to do this, I am wondering what a realistic time and cost is for the lift installation. Any thoughts on any of this?
Thanks!

I haven't checked for a drop pitman with matched drop panhard but I would think that is essential. If anywhere, I would guess Australia would be doing it
