As it seems I'll need to reduce the lift on my 80 from 3 inch to 2 inch to address alleged non-compliance with the draconian vehicle mod rules here in the fine police state of NSW I'm thinking about what I'll need - lower springs, probably replacement radius arms, and maybe shocks as well.
current config is 3 inch lift with Lovells springs, Buds customs arms (for 4 inch lift so I get about 4.5 deg of caster), Icon 1.0 shocks.
I've already got adjustable panhards (EFS ones) and Superior Eng extended braided brake lines.
The springs I have now are Lovells but I don't recall which ones. Their catalog has different p/n's for raised springs for up to 7/91 build then it changes for 8/91 up. Might go for King or Dobinsons springs this time around. I don't know how spring manufacturers 'measure' the lift their springs are made for.
I like the Buds arms, so I'd just get a set configured for 3 inch lift (to maintain the bigger caster setting).
Don't know if the Icon 1.0 shocks are ok for a 2 inch lift setup. Mine have been on the vehicle for about 6 years and not given any problems.
