1 word....

LOCKTUP

Their full kits seem to be good value and great quality.

1600 is a fairly decent budget for a 2 inch suspension kit.. The only suspension i've had on that model hilux was old man emu, the shocks still worked and hissed like new after 200000 kms of hard work... the springs had sagged a little from the load in the back. articulation was better than standard and we fit 32 inch bfg's with only the most minor of scrubbing.

In saying that i have never used ome since then... my latest 2 suspension kits have come from ultimate suspension, and i am happy with them.

Bolt in or can you weld?

This would be the first decision.

I got a kit from Shane at Suspension Stuff for my LN106 for under $1500, and have been really impressed with it. Has a suprising amount of flex, and rides nicely.
