Hey guys,
looking into buying a 3inch lift for my 03 4.8 gu,
been shopping about at just general suspension kits and am swinging towards the tough dog kit that superious have on offer.
it comes with:
4x 41mm foam cell shocks
4xtough dog coils
1xrtc steering dampener
2xExtended brake lines
4xcastor correction bushes.
My question is,is there anything else that i should consider buy for this kit?iam planning on running 285 75 M/T.
If anyone else has any feed back please let me know!
Cheers Jake....

Haven't had it before, but others rave about Old Man Emu (OME) mate. Worth looking into for comparison.

Gday Jake,

Mate I love the Adjustable shocks they work very well.. I love how I can set them to setting 1 and its makes it so soft for off-roading. I normally set them to about 5 for the road I have tried them on 9 and this will brake your back its so stiff.. So yes I think they are well worth it as I get to choose the ride comfort I want for the type of driving I'm doing.. I Was told not to bother with the drop boxes too. Not only would they not be needed but they will also make it dame obvious that you have put a bigger lift in.. My troll drives better than new with only caster bushes.
