Cool, thanks guys....

I've always wanted a 4" kit but can't justify the money they want for them here in Oz. So either getting one made or importing my own has always been an option.

It's a bugger about that GST crap, is it different if you are travelling and bring it back into the country as part of your lugage? I'm going to Bali in August, so would there be any chance of getting a kit from there?? Last time I was there, there was heaps of done up FJ40's and Suzi's, but don't remember seeing any big IFS trucks....

Have you thought about putting a rigid axle in the front might be cheaper if not better

yeha mate thought about it, but didnt like the idea of butchering an expensive car. i worked out an ifs lift kit would be cheaper when depreciation is taken into consideration as i can take the kit out when i sell.

Solid axle conversion = massive loss of money

In the latest 4wd mon there is an article about Global Accessories and they are dealing in thai sourced parts/accessories. I'll take a stab and reckon that is who Plan B is talking about, but I'm probably wrong
