Matt sells them for $95. I wwould say they are vital for a two inch lift, but from my research I reckon they would assist in correcting the position of the bar and help its performance. Just my 2 cents.

I am picking up the Superior brand equivalent today. I didn't think they were necessary on a 2" lift until I saw someone's build (sorry I have forgotten who) and then looked at how the bushes were sitting in mine. The bar is squashing the bush down and forrward and the split is wide open. I didn't notice this on the 120 so not sure if it is there or not. So I will fit my bump stops, swaybar blocks and driving (fog) lights this weekend all being equal.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic

nice build up matt
had a catch up and your rig is nice, how do you like the 6 speed ?
, i'm sure the the turbo is nice , but do you feel like ya changing gears too much or do you short shift around town? local streets. 60kph ?
would like another, look under your hood , photo please.. starting to get me interested in the 150 series. shhhh , secret , and do you feel the need to push the tacho into/ or near the red when towing , say over taking? 90 thro to the one 20 mark ? how does the diesel feel , my v6 , with the 6 speed has lots of grunt but does that equate to passing pull, get up and go when towing, the turbo .. does it go at 90 thro till 120 without puckering up ? cheers butane
watching your build with interest, good job[u][i][b][color=#0000FF] ..lets take her out for a spin... butane[/color][/b][/i][/u]

I've got the Superior Engineering front sway-bar re-locators in, good to have everything straight and back to "standard" positioning...

ANSWERS FOR BUTANE:
had a catch up and your rig is nice, how do you like the 6 speed ? I really like the flexibility of the 6 speed, matched with the low down torque of the Diesel engine.
, i'm sure the the turbo is nice , but do you feel like ya changing gears too much or do you short shift around town? local streets. 60kph ? I like to shift around 2200rpm, which is right in the sweet spot of the engine at the moment. I guess you do change gears abit more than if it was petrol, but it's a smoother engine so it's nice.
would like another, look under your hood , photo please.. starting to get me interested in the 150 series. shhhh , secret , and do you feel the need to push the tacho into/ or near the red when towing , say over taking? 90 thro to the one 20 mark ?When im out on the road and i want to pass, just leave it in 6th. if i need to get past quick, i just drop into 5th gear. it hauls well with the steinbauer module. my prado hauls when passing on the highway, even with the camper trailer on. how does the diesel feel , my v6 , with the 6 speed has lots of grunt but does that equate to passing pull, get up and go when towing, the turbo .. does it go at 90 thro till 120 without puckering up ? cheers butane

Just filled the Prado up with juice. With my engel empty and my Drifta drawer chockers full of gear, I measured the back at 860mm... Pretty happy with that number[CENTER][B][U]Matt

WOW that's a good height standard, so pretty much the rear standard on the 150 without a lift to mine now with a 50mm lift and your still 30mm higher and that's with draws etc !!! Mine is also with near empty tanks and currently with draws removed (doing rear door rubber sealant, finally found the right one). Do you have rear airbags ?? ......Cheers SteveFace lift 150 Prado V6 auto. No mods yet

No air bags. Just heavy duty rear springs with some spacers.[CENTER][B][U]Matt
