Finally was able to give the baja a lift today. Have now got loads of positive camber. Hopefully it will settle a little once I drive it. Typical though in doing the job I found some problems with cracks that need to be fixed and the mounting bolts for the body were loose, about 5mm movement. Guess thats the price of doing it yourself. At least it's cheaper.

I assume this is lift via torsion bar adjustment or body lift kit? none the less, can never get enough lift ! :D

Here are the photos. First photo doesn't really show the difference but my sons were shocked when they saw it. Can actually feel the suspension working now> I think they were bottoming out a lot before.

Err, that was put on by previous owner to get past rego. Didn't like the look of it. It hung below engine and mounted off prewarmers on exhausts and tinware. Not very strong.
Thanks for the comments.

Yeh major handling change from negative camber. Just gotta drive slower around corners and over speedbumps. Might lower a bit some time later, just gonna see how it goes first.
