Time for suspension
I run pretty much empty 90% of the time, when I do load it up its not too much, if it doesn't sit level I'll use appropriate spacers.
Front as TJM bar and winch with cable.
Springs: Kings springs KDFR42HD and KDPR43LP
As for shockers I'm thinking of using a 2-4" shocker instead of a 0-2" to assist with at full flex. l've used the ironman foamcell in the past and have find them to be alright. Don't need/want adjustable ones, just ones that will work at a reasonable price $200 odd. EFS, Tough dog, etc ?????? I know its not needed to extend brake lines, but thinking of sway bar extenders again to assist at full flex.
What are you thoughts on this set up.....

Not sure why you would want coil spacers, for me as I always travel light I would like a slight down hill look.
If and when I tow my camper it will even out the ride, any good shop will tailor your set up to suit what mods you have , dual battery etc
or future mods , the driver side coil id slightly longer to allow for the weight of the driver. Any 2" lift with some muddies aired down
with the Patrol LSD will see you go most places,so factor in any weight you may add in the future when ordering

Unless you want to extend bump stops and all that just stick with the 2" lift right around. Springs and shocks.
And for $200 you really get what you pay for.
I'd say save some more and grab old man emu, ironman have a new range, or other upper market gear.
Last thing you want is a cheap shock or spring failing out in a trip.

Re buildable and adjustable too but $500 a corner ???
Whats wrong with a 2" EFS system ??

He's probably going to need extended links anyway even with a 2inch lift. The sway bar is supposed to be dead level and with a lift they wont. Plus the disconnects will be adjustable/ extended.

I prefer it to sit level. Spacers only if needed.
Allow for extra weight of the driver........ Haha yeah I'm really going to weigh it down.
Future mods may require different springs in the rear, but that won't be for a while.

That's want I want to do 2" life, do bump stops need to be touched if using 2-4 shocker?
Will definitely be looking at brand name shockers.

Yes true, but I'll prefer to put something on and just leave it there.
