Cheers champ. My surpliers wont supply anything higher than a 2inch shock so I might have to shop around for somwhere that can supply a longer shock in EFS brand.

===============================================

Mis information.

Made by Monroe to OME specs with OME only parts.
Doesnt make them monroe shocks.
A lot of other companies produce under licence for Many brands.

OME 'L' series are about 60mm longer than their longest shocks for Nissan and Toyota, jeep etc.

I got Koni's but when i fitted them i checked against old ones and they are only about an inch longer both open and closed. does this sound right to suit a 2 inch lift? the way i see it this gives me 1 inch less up travel and 1 inch more down travel - so in effect i've only gained an inch of lift or does the car sit higher with not so much droop as stock!!!!!!!!

Spoke to dobinsons today to sort out my suspension and found that they have 6 inch springs on list but only 4in over shocks. Doesn't really mater anyway cause I'm lifting the rear shock mounts and I'm not too sure what I'm going to do to the front.

Run 80/100 series fronts, 50mm longer again than GQ/GU shocks in most cases, just ensure bump stops lengthened.
