Frequently Asked Questions
How does this 2-inch lift kit improve the 80 Series' legendary coil-spring suspension?
The 80 Series is renowned for its incredible articulation, but age has likely caused your factory springs to fatigue and the shocks to lose their damping efficiency. This RAW 4x4 kit is specifically tuned to enhance the 80's long-travel coil platform. It restores original ride height while utilizing multi-stage valving to better manage the vehicle's weight during flex, providing more stability on highway transit and superior control over washboard terrain.
Do I need to replace my panhard rods when lifting an 80 Series?
With a 2-inch lift on an 80 Series, the vehicle's axles will shift slightly off-center relative to the chassis. While some owners choose to retain factory rods, installing adjustable panhard rods (or rod relocation brackets) is highly recommended to re-center the axles. This ensures correct tracking, prevents tyre-to-chassis contact, and keeps your steering geometry aligned with the track width.
What about castor correction for the solid-axle front end?
Lifting an 80 Series affects the front axle’s castor angle, which can make the vehicle feel "darty" or light in the steering. We often recommend adding castor correction bushings or radius arm drop boxes alongside this kit. These components restore the steering geometry to factory specs, guaranteeing the predictable, "straight-line" tracking the 80 Series is famous for.
Can this kit handle the weight of heavy touring accessories like rear tyre carriers?
Yes, but spring selection is vital here. Because the 80 Series is a popular platform for heavy touring builds (steel rear bars, dual wheel carriers, roof-top tents), we match the rear coil springs to your "constant load." Using an empty-vehicle spring rate for a heavy touring build will result in immediate sagging. If you are adding significant rear-end weight, let our team know so we can supply the correct heavy-duty coil rates.
Will this lift kit change how my 80 Series performs in extreme articulation?
The RAW 4x4 shock absorbers in this kit are matched to the lift to ensure they do not become the limiting factor in your suspension travel. They are designed to allow the axle to drop fully for maximum traction, meaning you don't lose the 80 Series' legendary rock-crawling ability. It combines the lift you need for clearance with the travel you need for off-road performance.
