Westy,
I'm not sure you can include a body lift in that 75mm. I think it is limited to suspension an tyres but could be wrong.
As I also suggested I'm not sure whether it allows fitting a combo of King springs and Bilstein shocks as an example. The way I read it the suspension should be a complete kit from the like of OME, Ironman etc.

Yep, good point. It's not mentioned so best to leave it..Originally Posted by Drewboyaus
As for mix and match, places like suspension stuff sell "kits" that are made up of strings from one place and shocks from another..
In the end, I think Its how well you work the situation with the bloke assessing or writing the fine..

ok guys so im gunna stick my 33s an do the 2inch lift , an as for wht type type of shocks would suit my 4x4 it is now my understanding that foam is good if i was doing alot of travelling
on rough corragated gravel road type work, an gas better suited to take the bigger hits that you often encounter on beaches an dunes given their abbility to compress and rebound quicker, so think im going with gas unless someone strongly convinces me otherwise
thanks guys

I would stick with the Gas Option.
I have had Koni's for years, and have had OME in the past, and they have never let me down in thousands of K's.

Be aware that a "50mm" lift will settle with weight and time, so in fact what is sold as "50mm" may well end up being something less.
I have a Ridepro "70mm" lift (matched springs and shock) that had settled to being a measured 50mm lift with all the aftermarket gear (drawers, rear bar, second spare etc) I have bolted up.
Time Marches On .....and on ..... and on
I have heavy duty 50mm OME on mine and I put 30mm spacers on the back to level it out a bit when fully loaded
