I think its been a huge thing with Patrols to do the low COG design lately. 3-5 years ago everyone was getting 4" lifts for 33s, now 2" lifts with 35s are all the rage.

Really depends where you want to drive, rockcrawling obviously needs all the flex you can get but for the desert and the High Country stability at high speeds and steep terrain, respectively, is probably higher up on most peoples agenda - especially given the apparent increase in Police attention towards modified vehicles. And lockers have gotten cheaper too.
