I recently bought some for an 80 series 2 inch lift. they were 940 from suspensionstuff.com. They were the red ones. I don't think they do the numbered series any more, just have red for comfort yellow for sport and some black ones too.

Standard height are a bit cheaper so koni ovbiously charge more for more inches. However I don't think they do larger than 2inch lift.

Red are internally adjustable, yellow are externally adjustable and black arent adjustable at all. There is also the silver ones which are double adjustable (separate bump and rebound externally). All are rebuildable and can be customised to suit the application. GSA Suspension in Springwood can sort it all.

I think the 90 series are now called Raid, biggest chunkiest off the shelf ones they make......... and they are expensive.
I got a quote recently for $950/pair for front and $960/pair for rear. That was for a Defender, which arent quite as long as a Patrol but should give you an idea on price.

I have a set of the red Koni's that were fitted when I bought them.
I have been told they are rebuildable and wouldn't mind getting this done.
Does anyone know where they can be rebuilt (prefer around Brisbane) and anyone who's done it give me a price.

Just after a ballpark figure, once I've found out where to get them rebuilt I'll get a quote.
