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.

But yeah cops r targetin 4bies more.

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
