yes lots. adding 1/2 that on my GU dropped 15-20mm.

change springs and shocks.

.... thus the reason suspension should be the last thing fitted AFTER all accessories.

true and correct.

couple of things you can do

1. take it to a specialist like carrolls
2. add a front spring hanger similar to a hilux (not advised if not experienced)
3. add extended shackles.

#1 would be the winner though
