    Sometime ago when I was looking into suspension lift from ARB. The salesman made it very clear that the lift is merely a by-product of upgrading the suspension.

    In other words, order a suspension kit for the desired suspension qualities and as an aside, enjoy any lift that you get out of it .

    There is another product that has piqued my curiosity that will give an adjustable lift. Along with the 8-pages you've already reviewed, you might also find this thread useful: Airbag Man Air Suspension.

    Research is never ending .

    Cheers,
    LFaR.

      Ok, this thread is all very interesting. Excuse me while I go hide my credit card from myself. I live but 5 minutes from the Osborne Park ARB in Perth and of course I was there today booking in for ARB's dual battery set up to be fitted next weekend. I nearly fell over when they said the workshop does jobs on Saturdays! "Book me in" I said.

      As an aside, purely for reference and research purposes, I asked about their suspension upgrades. $1668.80 fitted. Thats for ...

      • 4 coils
      • 2 struts
      • 2 Nitrocharger Shocks
      Medium, 150kgs - 400kgs & constant 400kgs loads.
      • Wheel alignment and brake test.

      However, they said the OME kits will be going up in price the first week in August. :? No Idea as yet what the new prices will be. So I'll have to wait and see what the damage will be. No way I can afford it right on top of the dual batt setup. Sigh.

              Well I ordered my OME suspension today, hopefully I get the same sort of lift you guys have been getting.
              I ended up going with OME884's and N140S on the front and OME896 and N142 on the rear so I will now have to wait till they arrive.

              For I suspect Chippy but anyone that tows a camper trailer, how much drop do you get with the trailer hooked up. I don't plan to use poly airbags but will if I have to. I am only towing a light offroad camper.
              Cheers

                I went the HD in the rear .... and can quite happily tow the 1400 Kg of CT without any dramas. Its just when I load the car up as well that I like having that extra touch of firmness from the Polyairs.

                Cheers

                    Only 2 more days until my suspension goes in. I now have all the bits sitting in the back of the prado waiting patiently. If only their owner could also wait patiently. It is killing me

                      All done now I ended up with 60mm all the way around. I am guessing I will end up with 50mm when it has settled. It rides so much better now. Can't wait to get it off road again.

                          There are only the finished photos sorry as I was lazy and paid someone else to do it this time.





                          Edit: Thanks to Chippy's help, they are all working now.

                            Its just the way the [img]and[/img] tags are wrapped around the pics.

                            Under each of your pics, in Photobucket, is 4 lines of code. The fourth one down is the [img] code ...... use this one as it is all automatic.

                            Copy the code by clicking in that box, paste it into your message ... and you have a picture.

                            Cheers
