Whats the best suspension to get for a HJ60 wagon? I want two inches of lift and mabey some extended shackels... Got prices of $2400 for the rancho stuff and $1000 for enforcer I'm looking for cheap but decent anyone got opinions?
A mate also said to look at a spring over and keep my original springs anyone got opinions on that?

Just depends on what you want to do.......touring, towing, serious scrub work...

I'm currently running Ultimate springs and OME shocks (springs are 5yrs old). Lookin at getting Dobinsons and putting the Ultimates on the scrubber.

Go with a 2'' spring lift and 2'' body lift to fit 35'' tires
without a lot of drama.
depends on what you wont to do with the rig and what state or teritory
you are in wether you do a spring over or not
a 60 is a very heavy wagon and for every inch you lift it you
will need to make it 1.5'' wider for stability
if you do a soa use flat springs to keep it as low as possible
and take it easy for the fisrt few drives in the bush till you get used to
the higher COG average 6'' lift
but once sorted out a soa cruiser is awesome to drive

I dunno yet mate, might not happen for a while, I wanna go to a couple of four wheel drive shows and get some cheaper prices but if i do get it, you pay for the shipping and i'll send 'em down for free... I don't need 'em... Might be waitin' a long while though... so don't get your hopes up

On my 60 i have the enforcer lift kit. its cheap and they do keep to the warranty i got all new bushes after having it for a year. Pedders use enforcer leafs for 60s as well but i wouldnt go them again.
Go to straight talk suspension at blacktown only a 2 hour drive from new castle and they do an awsome kit for around 1400 bucks it flexs awsome and handles good, its all imported amercican stuff with big shocks and anti-inversian shackles,a few of my mates have these and they are most impressive flexes better than mine and he still has his stabaliser bars on.
