I have just put the Ironman 2"lifted springs and shocks into my car and just wondering what the next step is?
Do I need some camber bolts or something?


Im also wanting to do a 1 or 2"body lift in the future...just wondering what I need to consider?

Extended lines.
I need to lift the front and rear bumpers up to suit
I guess my tow bar and bull bar will be at the wrong height?
Gear stick adjustment.

What has everyone else done about these things?

I see ur other posts you have a vitara.
I put camber bolts in mine as the camber changed when it lifted.

Then wheel alignment.
BL issues - might not need them but brake lines, fuel filler neck, breather's, gear stick, handbrake, bumper bars, bull bar, rear bar etc.

Those videos are 98% useless.

The instructions that come with the kit are pretty good. Otherwise have read of a few of the Vitara build threads that have done BLs, I reckon we've covered most issues between us.
