Also, is a 2.5" lift legal for a 2 door? I mean, for insurance purposes or do I have to go get a certificate etc.. I'll get it professionally installed because it's a big risk..

As for shocks, they offer different price points to suit different budgets & applications. Falcon 2.1 is the entry level of the Falcon shocks but they offer the 9550 VSS (Vehicle Specific Shock). But there are heaps of offerings, I'd like the 3.3 fully adjustable but the budget didnt allow for it. Everything is a compromise. In Falcon shocks they do specify shocks between the 2Dr & 4Dr.

As for legality depends which state in our great land you live in. As for insurance I think its fairly standard, if its deemed roadworthy by the vehicle licencing its covered by insurance.

There is some writeups about it, think it was 4wd action.
