They will fit, the cost won't be much, will still be insurable no engineering required. Easier and cheapest way to go. i had this setup for quite a few years and it was great until I wanted bigger tyres etc


You'd have to get longer shocks to go with the Springs, otherwise the shocks will bottom out and self destruct...

The OME Shocks would suite the application though - they have just enough extra length in them to allow for a 1" longer shackle I believe.

In Vic, I don't believe a body lift requires an engineering certificate, so if you made one of those yourself it would be the cheapest option by a long way i think...

yes that's right longer shocks too. In the photo I was running 4runner rear shocks I think.
