2 inch lift

Milly · 05-08-2019, 14:02

Hi guys and girls. I've got a 2 inch body lift kit to fit soon. I've googled and read on here you need to fit steering Doughnuts. The guy at Xpajun said they'd be unnecessary but I'd rather air on the side of caution. What are peoples opinions and where would i be able to buy them from please

I've done a 3" body lift and I now have 4 donuts!!!!!!!

I found that mine seemed to start to warp and fold causing them to split so I lengthened the bolts and put some new donuts in and it's made it a lot better

I unbolted the steering rack at the donut and measured the gap when finished and a second donut was a perfect fit. A word of warning.... If you do this, tie the steering wheel to stop spinning it and stretching/braking the wires to the switches/horn..... Eh Banshee???
