No worries mate, hope to be lifting it in the next month or so. Will be putting on TJM bullbar, rails and side steps shortly and snorkel.

Also need to know which snorkel is better, airtec or safari? Have been told safari but want to know what people think?

honestly mate ironman stuff is generally carp. Also you may want to check this but oldman emu recommend that you reinforce the top front shock mounts as they crack with a heavy shock and no reinforcement.
ive got ome shocks but standard springs and torsion bars , post some pics when your done I'd like to see it.
cheers andrew

I won't be doing much heavy stuff at all, just want the lift for a bit of clearance and to get bigger tyres on, 31's. The guards aren't that friendly for bigger rubber.

I have heard the opposite about ironman, a few mates said it's not bad stuff.

i put the efs kit in, complete with upper front shock mount re-inforcing plates, very happy with it, and worked out cheaper than an ironman kit once you added new shackles, etc to the list price of ironman kit.

cheers
