2" lift quote differences

[MEGOMONSTER]

I have got 5 quotes from different places and brands but my problem is the differences in what they include in the quote.
One quote has steering damper and castor bush kit
One quote has Castor bush kit and sway bar extension.
One has sway bar extension, castor bush kit and steering damper.
One had steering damper only.
One had none of these.
So they all say I HAVE TO fit the all the items quoted but one say I don't need any of them unless you go 3" lift and over. I find it funny to see that they all interpret what's needed or required differently for the same vehicle.
So question still remains, What is actually needed for a 2 " lift with safety and comfort in mind.

My Gq has a 2inch lift with castor correction, the proof is in the even wear in my tyres.
Tyres cost a small fortune and to only use half of them is such a waste.

Mine is supposed to be a 50mm (2") lift, when it was fitted the front went up 95mm.
The stock springs must have been badly sagged or not liking the winch, bar and extra battery.
Had a wheel alignment done and it didnt need bushes like the suspension mob said due to being 50mm only.
Tracks and brakes OK so I guess they are correct.
My experience.

50mm or 2" lift requires none of it, end of story, all the other crap they are on about is called upselling, very common & I am good at it, my suggestion is to go for quality products, TJM, ARB, OME etc, I would upgrade the dampener if it is older than 3-4 yrs old, just check all of your bushes etc as this is more likely to scrub your tyres out faster than anything, a warn bush/s will cause your front tyre/s to scollap

All I did was the OME suspension and upgraded my dampener as well mate, go for it as mentioned above!

My Trol is 13000km old, it's still a newborn

Had 2" EFS fitted , all they did was check front end to see if it was staight,I've had no problems what so ever, tyre wear even, rotate every 5000

just go for a straight 2" lift, shocks & springs, absolutely nothing else required, think before you select springs though, are you 100% sure to be fitting a steel Bullbar & winch, are you fitting drawers & a fridge etc, this will make a difference in spring selection only

just to put my 2c in castor correction is only required for bigger lifts and castor will NOT affect tyre wear , rather handeling charactoristics, think shopping trolley the further back the less stable , b ut will turn easy. to far foward very stable but will never turn, these effects are even more pronounced on the patrols as there is no camber adjustment to speak of due to the soild axels
