Hi guys I've just put some 2 inch lift blocks on with my 2 inch springs and 3 degree arms front and rear now I have a wobble/vibration upto 30mph after that it's perfect I do have a front wide angle prop which I thought would help this but clearly not am I correct in thinking I need 6 degree arms to solve this or is it normally ok and I have other issues? Thanks
 
Curious why a 4” lift? No saying don’t mod. But sounds like it is now rubbish on road and I bet it won’t flex for **** off road either.

Because I'm going to run 33s for on road/green lanes and 35 mud tyres for pay and play I also have +5 shocks it flexs well just need to sort this wobble other than that drives the same as before

33’s sound way too big for laning. No wonder 4x4’s get a bad rap. That said, I ran 33’s (measured about 34” tall) on a stock height a Discovery. So you most certainly do not need 4 inches of lift for such tyres.

+5” shocks on +4” lift means only +1” of increased droop from stock. Doesn’t sound like a flex monster tbh. All of your suspension travel is in compression which will likely be hard to fully utilise. If you run extended bump stops suspension compression will be limited too.

Just out of curiosity have you ever considered having a go at something like RTV trials events? You’d be able to make much more use of major mods and is so much more fun than pay & play days.

Green laning shouldn’t be a challenge in a standard vehicle really. No need for extreme mods. If the terrain really is that bad you have either strayed from the prescribed and legal route or the lane is in no condition to being driven and may even have a TRO on it. My laning 90 has a set of 30” All Terrains on currently. More than enough for any lane I’ve yet driven.

I have strut towers too snd 33s are because of the arches getting cut to fit mud tyres
 
Hello im a suspension noob. How do bump stops make it flex more? do you mean bump stops that go onto the chassis or bump stops inside the shock itself?
