Parts required;
Suspension upgrade kit - $3150 posted
Front diff drop kit - Superior Engineering - $165 + postage.
Wheel alignment - $110
Potential modifications;
Front shock rebuild and CDCV upgrade.
New rear 2.5" CDCV shocks
Black Hawk UCA.
What I would do differently if I was to do it again;
I would spring the extra coin and purchase the 2.5" CDC valve shocks.
Icon shock have Digressive valving so they are quite stiff at slow speed and soften up at higher speed.
You definitely feel this especially when you fit All terrain tires, I replaced the rear springs with Progressive rate to try and reduce this in the rear of the vehicle.
The rear dampers are listed for US 1991-2007 Landcruiser 80/100 series and the front for 2010+FJ/4Runner.
Have completed the Gibb river road, a short section of the Tanami road to Wolf creek and a trip to Cape Leveque without any issues.
