Tony,
I have The Ultimate Suspension Lift Kit. So far I am very happy with this kit. This kit offers a genuine 3.5-4" kift kit, which has not sagged after 30'000km+
Having said this I have no bullbar or dual battery.
All depends on what you are after I guess.
Prior to this kit I had the Tough Dog kit, which was also excellent. This gave a 45mm lift after about 25'000kms, 52mm to start.
The Ultimate kit ain't cheap, but it is a well engineered product, with unbeatable after market service. I have nothing but praise for Ken and the boys down there. I believe they have some ore bits to give a 5" lift available soon too!
This kit is easy to engineer and rides great. I have medium duty leaf springs in the rear which ride a bit harsh when empty, no worse than standard Toyota suspension though! The front rides great, a lot less front pitch under heavy braking, and less body roll. With a normal load of tools in the back the ride is great.
If you want 3"+ of lift, this is the only real option other than a solid front axle swap ($10'000)
If you don't need 3" and just want a better ride, you have many options, the Tough Dog are good, my mate has the Macquarie 4x4 Bilstein set up and that is pretty good too.
Hope this helps!
Cheers
Matt
