Hey Fellas

Just put 2inch Lift in my 1995 80series last night and now as of 60km i am getting a weird noise from the front off my truck, any ideas of what it could be would be much appreciated.

Cheers Gary

A few more clues might help.

If your car is full time 4wd it will be most likely your front drive shaft. You have changed the angle of which the uni's operate, therefore creating the noise. You can either put up with it, or fit a part time kit, apart from that there aren't many other options.

For a 2" lift really shouldn't need to do this, but then again every cars unique. Maybe check the unis are greased though

for a 2" lift you should have any issues with the front driveshaft. I would say a rebuild of the unis will fix your problem
