ive just started looking for a 4in lift kit for my 04 gu st patrol ute im thinking of going tuff dog but not 100% as of yet. i got a price of 3300 fully installed for a complete tuff dog set up so is that a good price also what does have to be changed when i go this high?

it would depend on what you get for your money. coils/shocks/panhard rods/caster bushes & brake lines at a minimum for 4 inch lift but that wouldn't have come to 3300 I dont think, so I would be expecting something else as well

definatelty ring Shane at Suspension Stuff, he is a guru and totally independant so will give you a no bull opinion and advice to suit your application.

I am not saying TD is crap, but they will sell you what they want and it may not suit your needs at all.

good luck and let us know how you go.

Agree, I will be lifting my 04 wagon shortly and called Shane from suspension stuff, and after talking with him for about an hour I don't think I have to look any further. He supplies top quality gear and knows what he is talking about. He can tailor a great package!!! Well worth having a chat to him :D

Why not have a crack at installing it yourself??? Trust me - its not that hard, and will save you some good coinage.....

did full 4 inch kit with drop boxes, by myself using some wood 2 stands, 2 bottle jacks and 1 trolley jack, in 1 day when hung over. give it a go you'll learn a few things about your suspension whilst doing it
