I am looking at lifting my newly aquired Gq wagon. Was looking at the 4-5 inch or the 6-7 inch drop box kits? Has anyone tried them and is there much difference between the different stages? Are they fairly easy to intall? I want it mainly for flex but it still has to drive good on the hi way. Thanks.

they do good kits, with everything in them. have a chat to either of them and they will tell you what you need and how to set it up right. but you might have to call a few times to get through.... the phone rings off the hook

What do you intend to use the truck for? What size tires do you intend running? Very rare someone needs more than 4inch lift.

Mainly weekend runs in the state forestry, maybe some trips to landcruiser park (has the roughly the same terrain as the forestry) and just runs to work and back. Probably will end up runnning 35's. Was thinking of 4-5 inch kit but was told 35's will fit better under 6-7inch of lift? I am only kinda new to this 4x4 stuff.

Give brian or myself a call during business hours and we will explain the pro's and con's of suspension and caster correction for what you need .
Always easier on the phone than typing.
As chunderlicious said be patient trying to get through as the phone line is busy a far amount.

35's will fit with 2inch sus and bit of a guard trim... easier with 3inch lift.
But as said, give Superior guys a call, they have some impressive work behind them. Lower you keep it, better it handles on and offroad, and the less the cops will harass you too, specially in Qld.

plenty of threads on fitting 35's, have a bit of a search...

What components did you get with it? Just seeing what different kits are around before it goes up.
