Welcome to Yotatech!

Who makes the lift? Is it a 4" drop bracket lift?

so who makes the lift? IIRC, there is no 6" IFS lift...unless you are crankin the torsion bars to the stops to get it.

ah, well, if it's the standard 4" lift the geometery should be fine unless the idler arm is bent or the TRE are shot. Are the lower a-arms paralell to the ground?

Yeah BBP, you don't know nuffin. Why you trying to help with a lift problem. It's not like you have a 4 inch bracket lift with relocated spring perches and..... Oh.......riiiight....... nevermind.......
