gday guys. iv just recently gotten my hands onto a 02 gu patrol and im looking into a 2 inch lift. i was just wondering if i could get some advice on what brand i should go with? im not a hardcore 4wd bloke but i like to go out probley once or maybe twice a month. if i could get some advice it would be greatly appreciated
Heaps of choice in that bracket mate - you'll get varied opinions as each has their own, but pretty much anything from OME, Ironman, EFS, Dobinson, etc are all good units in themselves and it really comes down to budget. There was a recent thread about this and I think they went with ironman due to price ... best thing about a 2" lift is you won't need to go changing arms, casters, etc.
No doubt others will offer there thoughts also mate - good luck and make sure you throw up some before and shots!! We love our piccies!!! lol
thats the thing ay, i hear all are good for just going out like a couple times a month but it just comes down to price ay. i know use all love your pics so ill be sure to put some up when it get the lift haha :)
Don't forget to check out the Tough Dog, Foam Cell one not the adjustable, they are not bad at all. Perhaps also check with the kit available from superior or suspension stuff, some good stuff there.
Got my GU 2'' lift here almost 12 months ago.......

I recon my truck would get used more than most , and can't think of anything more i could wish for in suspension , 3yr /100K waranty, and a bargain at just over $500, and takes a few hours to fit it yourself.
Hey mate tried posting the other day but the forum was having a hiccup. Just from my experiences I'll give you my opinion on some brands.Quote:
