    when one has fitted a 2"lift kit ,4 new springs,front es3000 strut inserts and rear shocks es3000 also ,does anything else need tweaking ,this is job on a 3rd gen .
    when i used to change the ride height and spring set up on mt racing nitro buggy it used to always effect the camber toe in and toe out stuff ,and usually had to be altered .is this the same with the surf .and b4 you laugh nitro buggy racing is great fun.

    you'll definatly need to get the camber reset.
    handbrake cable guide on the rear axle housing may need tweaking, there are extension brackets available but with my 2.5" lift I didn't bother.
    the rear brake flexi-line may need extending for off-road use

      You might want to increase the height of the brake load sensing valve arm above the rear axle to comensate for the increase in axle to body separation.

        Sorry Nev, but there isn't one on the 3rd Gen , and I'm sure its often overlooked when lifting a 2nd Gen, although as you rightfully point out on these it should be adjusted to compensate.
