Ring your nearest ARB store?
You can pay for fitting or just have the parts supplied.
If they supply parts only ARB will be reluctant about any future warranty claims.
No hard to fit, but If you don't have a fair degree of mechanical ability, axle stands, trolley jack, etc, get them to fit it.

I have 2" toughdog springs, Rancho 9000 adj and front struts you can have for $650

What is your Vit? 4 door or 2 door?

You can do a 2"+ suspension lift on a Vit for fark all. Have a look in the Bible for the appropriate shocks and springs for your model. If you shop around at wreckers you can easily do 2" for less than $200.

Just save your money and get OME.
There are lots of other ways, but if you are new and don't want to be under the car trying to figure out which combination works for you, save the grief and start out with a quality product that someone will fix if you are unhappy.

Just my 2C worth.

Yes, I know you can run commodore shocks and strut spacers and hockey pucks and it all costs 50c, but its horses for courses. some of these cars work OK and some suck, and 90% of them end up on OME struts anyway.

OME struts have 46% more travel than the stock strut. They are dynamite.

Do the Bible stuff for the rear and if you're gunna spend a few $$$, then spend it on the front. ie. Struts..... That's my 2 cents anyway.
