I reckon spend 1k on decent lift of 2.5 to 3 inches and the another 300 on adjustable panhard.

From now on I am going 1 inch higher than I think i want....I am calling it 'plus one' disease. Same as guys that have a boat want one 10 feet longer (plus ten disease).

I understand where you are coming from. I have no plans on big tyres and anything too large, as I will still be driving the XJ on road a fair deal. I will upgrade when I decide it is best. 2 inches will do me nicely.

Was talking to a suspension fella the other day and he says a few people are going for a Ironman hardware set-up with tough dog adjustables plus a tough dog steering dampener. I've heard good things about them, but at $1800 for the gear, it's quite expensive, but the option of changing suspension settings seems tempting.

I hated the OME setup i had, coils were ok but rears sucked in a big way.
I have heard a fair few people say ironman was a bit stiff.

what about something like this
