You can't raise your suspension by fitting new shock absorbers. You have to reset your springs or fit new 2" raised springs.

you'll get a lot of debate between whether to go for the OME dakars or not. Im running them, and in the front, they arent coping well, which is surprising considering that the new 3.0TD engine is LIGHTER than the 2.8D it replaced, but the Medium duties in the rear are doing fine!
