Guy on ebay sells the kits (everything you need) for $100 for swb mk, $115 for a lwb.

He does kits for GQ's as well.

Make sure the bolts that are supplied with the kit are high tensile. If you plan on getting it approved they have to high tensile and I wouldnt trust the mod using standard bolts, to easily sheared.

You can do it pretty easy yourself, but at the price Ludacris quoted you why would you bother! I would just take it to him and be done with it.

Dude, read the responses - this has all been covered! Are all the bolts the same length? Pull one of your current bolts out (very quick and easy, and you'll have to do it anyway) and compare it to the new one. For a 2" lift they should be 2" longer, and for a 3"... I'll let you figure that one out.

Thanks and sorry again!

Rather not say but I will say a well known and reputable 4x4 company around Melbourne.
I also thought that was extremely high for a 2" body lift!

**Gold Plated I think**

Defintely be doing it myself!
