they tend to cater to the the unique customizations of vehicles.

but be wary. they are busy workshops and and they dont like wasting time with tyre kickers. you need to think about what u exactly want to do with the vehicle not just big lifts, tyres wanky crap

ok here's the tech. Does the 200 series in question have the hydraulic ride control levelling system? If so, good luck getting that figured out for the lift and SAS.

from what ive read on lcool, base models have no KDSS, hydraulic, the top end speced 200 does.
from what theyve said, the KDSS can let you drive faster, less body roll and understeer into corners, or roundabouts.

some people prefer without it, but those that have it, wouldnt go back, even if you paid them.

From the write ups i've seen it's a seriously ingenious set up. Sounds like it does the job of limiting body roll very well while still allowing maximum articulation until other design limitations come into play.

If you could set it up with pistons long enough to deal with the travel i'd even put it on a flex monster/winch truck as it would make it a much better vehicle.
