Thanks for the replies.
DrK, do you mind saying how much you spent for that setup ?

Mate i am far from an expert - however i like to tinker

i have just installed a 2inch lift Old Man Emus in my prado - i picked 200kg constants in the back, not sure yet if i regret it.
approx $1350 for the kit.
installation costs i would guess $300-400
local ARB branch in Rockingham.

Give John at Zordo's a call. He's based in Queensland but can probably organise an install in WA for you.
I also went the Dobinsons/Bilstein combo and couldn't be happier.

I recently got a 2 inch lift done by Malaga Suspensions.
Dobinsons Coils, Bilstein Shocks and heavy-duty airbags in the rear for when that backs loaded up or towing.
I've been really happy with the end result...so there's at least one recommendation for ya.

Anyone ?
Should I just go down to the local Pedders and ask them ?

Hi everyone,
I've searched but haven't found anything similar. Sorry if I've missed it.

I'm looking to increase the ride height of my 2014 150 GXL V6. It currently has factory suspension.
The vehicle has a TJM steel bar, dual batteries, brush bars, 4mm underbody protection plates, no winch yet but planned for future.
I get stuck in sand way too easily. Looking at the sand after recovery shows the bash plates etc under the center of the car dragging.

I don't want to spend a fortune if I can avoid it, but do want something decent so I don't have issues. I don't want massive lift, I guess 50mm is the standard ? Still running factory tyres, will be replaced soon, probably with MT ATZ P3's around the same size.

Main uses for the car (apart from on-road daily driving) are touring, not massive on off road stuff but will be moving up north to Karratha for a couple of years in the next couple of months. We will be driving up there so looking forward to that 1600 km trip ! Like to go on sand for fishing, camping etc. Not huge on mud.
We also tow a camper van when we go away, which currently sees the rear of the car droop.

Any recommendations ? Also installers in the Perth area ?

Thanks !
