2012 CRD Almost stock 2" lift kid recomendation

[MyGU8]

Hi All,

Looking at my next big thing for the GU, it is almost stock (alloy bull-bar and dual battery)
Front - 1340kg
Rear - 1260kg

Considering one of these two options, any recommendations please;

1.Superior Engineering

The kit includes the following Superior Suspension Parts:

2x Front coils

2x Rear coils

2x Front Superior Engineering Nitro Gas Shocks

2x Rear Superior Engineering Nitro Gas Shocks

1x Superior Engineering Steering Damper (Which I don't need)

4x Castor correction bushes


2. Ironman foam pro + Ironman or any other springs


Thanks

Whaddya want it to do? All round tourer, or hard core with the Victorian mob ? Or Both?

fitting yourself or getting them fitted?

for around $800, you could get a set of king springs (off ebay) and shocks (depending on the brand)....... I went TerrainTamer shocks bought locally in Perth for just over $500 and the King springs off ebay.

But like Growler said, what sort of 4wding are you planning?

Mostly town running, 25% rough roads but nothing hard core like rock crawling.

Loaded with camping stuff when going out but nothing extremely.

I can fit it myself but wondering what sort of tools I will need. Fairly mechanical minded so won't be a biggie but tools may get in way

Well TJM XGS Gold or ARB Old MAn Emu (OME) with the correct spring rating and youll be fine.
If you are gunna fit it yourself you need spring compressors metric socket set, H/D axle stands and a good trolley jack

no spring compressors required for a 2" lift. i have installed 6 " springs without compressors

what is your budget? i am a big fan of Old Man Emu 2" lift mate. great match to your car.

As cheap as possible
Both of my original proposal come around $1300. Ironman installation is only $100.

Recently I came across some comments here about Ironman pro performing better than ome, I was originally to go with ome.

I know it is a personal thing but ride quality is I am after

If they'll fit for $100 go for it

Will you be towing in the near future, and have you finished all your accessories
like dual battery etc ??? swapping the alloy bar for a steel number
