i would be wary buying a suspension kit over 2 inches for your 4x4.
nsw police are now targeting 4x4s with more than 2 inches of lift,whether it be through a body lift or suspension.it is only allowed 2 inches total,over standard height.
these laws are soon to be released throughout australia,in an attempt to get dangerous lifts of the road.

hey haggis its kieran. im about to put my 4inch kit in my ute ute within the next 2 weeks so your welcome to come for a look if ya want mate? better off with drop boxes over caster plates and also if you decide to go a 4inch lift your steering wheel will be out quarter of a turn which makes getting an adjustable drag link necessary. cheers kieran
