Great idea Hutch, called up ARB and they knocked it down to 1665 so booking it in with them.. now i've got to choose some decent rubber but thats another forum !! :-)

TJM good price and good gear, ARB could be sharper I would stay away from pedders. Go to ARB see of they would get closer to the TJM price if not go TJM.

OME springs

Lift is more useful than some posters here think.
If you are on a track that is only normally done by lifted/larger 4wds, then you will be "grading" the track as you have the lowest suspension.
I saw this many times on a recent trip to Cape York. The one Prado in our group with no lift got stuck, scraped, etc a number of times when none of the rest of us did.

OME springs

I think Rob was after the part number of your OME coils. Eg: OME 883, OME 884 or OME885 for front coils and OME 895, OME 896 or OME 897 for rear coils.

Was just checking they r putting the right springs in for u, you should be getting 883 front and 895 rear based on what u have told us. Any other help u need just yell out.

Hi All
With the suspension lifts that everyone has done, has anyone experienced any problems once the suspension has been upgraded?

i suggest a wheel alignment check or you may end up with uneven wear on your tyres, but mine has been good over all
