On the grounds that it might start a small war and teddy bears may just get hurled out of prams ?

The opinion is pretty much split 50/50. Some think you're liable to be all over the shop if you have to turn sharply.
Others, such as Snatch, myself and many more think that's complete balls. Driving style is far more detrimental than a lack of A.R.B's. Plus, the uprated springs and shocks are making your suspension firmer than stock.

The only part you have to note is that you are raising the centre of gravity, and thus you have to adjust your driving style accordingly.

ah i see, well that being the case my last response scrubs out any need for worry

[Apache]

WRONG!!

vinces kit that i got, Had the Panhard rod drop bracket, rear arb drop plates and a brake line spacer!

Both me and Mudsurfer broke the drop bracket anchor points offroad. If you use the truck offroad (hahahaha!!) dont bother. It's NOT NECESSARY with a lift that small anyway...

Dont argue - I'm right!

why thank you sir at least someone sees sense in what i say.

[Apache]

then young sir despite what anyone says,with that combination of shocks and springs,you will be able to throw the rear arb away and fit your roof rack and you wont have a problem.

By 'anyone', you mean Rod? It was me who argued the contrary remember?

This site needs controversy again!

[POPEYE]

Right the rear arbs comeing off, i have a second tank, it's got wide wheel base cos of the rims, the lift is MASSIVE with these springs, you wont be dissapointed once the issue with the top spring mounts is sorted,(alloy plates) the spare wheel on the back is now chest high, real struggle getting it up there and once the lights are off the top i can get the fecker out the garage
just want to thank all you guys for the help and encouragement, i was near to putting it back to normal, mind you when the wife see's it shes gonna wig out big time so if you dont hear from me call the cops
