Cheers chaps, the reason I want one is I get quite a bit of wheel wobble at about 50mph, it's currently running 3 inch lift springs that I'm changing for 2" to help the angles out! I'm going to look into getting tires rebalanced as I can't find anything else that would be doing it!

Get the tracking checked, it should have been adjusted when it was lifted so this could have caused quite a bit of tow in and that can cause instability and death wobbles.

Yes but its got a 3 inch lift and I don't think the bolts are quite enough! I've ordered some 2 inch lift springs hoping they should improve things!
