      Going from a 265/65-17 to 265/70-17 will raise you 12mm
      A genuine 50 mm lift at the front will give your diff/clearance 50mm
      A lot more advantage than 12mm
      Also it helps get the whole rig up, especially those fuel tanks.... From dragging
      Increasing approach and departed angles good too
      Suspension is the cheaper option too!

      Depending what accessories u will add/have
      Dobinson C59-302 (50mm minimal accessories) or C59-314 50mm (heavy accessories) at the front
      C59-325 50mm for the rear.

        Reason on that combo was this site (just google pradopoint lovells/Bilstein for results) and wanted something different than going off to ARB or TJM. Just a matter of your preference. Do mainly beach 4WD - BUT you will notice even day to day driving handling is so much better than the standard suspension

          Sorry, should have qualified my earlier post about difference between lifting an IFS vs Solid Axle. My bad.

          On another note, look into Autoride suspension in Balcatta. They do Bilstein shocks with Lovells.
