Lift kits
With so many brands and types of lift kits what is the best to go and how high. Is there any law with how high you can go.
Thanks Whitestickle

2" lift is the legal maximum on a Patrol.
Old Man Emu (ARB) and TJM have good quality kits. Kings springs and Koni shocks are also a top combination. There are heaps of other quality suspension manufactures out there but they are probably the most most common.

Laws vary from state to state, but general consensus is 50mm will gain the least amount of attention. Qld as an example has no specified limit, stating in preference of a height measurement, that any modification to the suspension setup must be installed by a licensed installer, and be of "sound engineering practices". It is a dead set gauntlet of what is acceptable out there these days and what isn't, but start with your state roads authority for any publications/legislation/amendments particular to vehicle modification ...
As per Tony - heaps of options out there, but the brands mentioned are well recognised and generally well trusted ....

not with a 50mm suspension lift
you can have 50mm on body or 50mm on suspension... not both, depending on the laws in Tasmania, but that's how it is in NSW
