Du-OH! - yeah the info is right there on the OP link - I didn't use that link - went straight to the Dobinsons site and missed finding that page, so I've been in the dark about what that package actually did.

Yep - the spec sheet indicates +45mm lift for "std" vehicle and +25mm lift for Trailhawk (I had also been under the impression Trailhawk was a bit higher than it actually is in comparison to ADII versions - essentially the suspension height is the same).

So for Trailhawk that's similar result as the Aussie Lift with the difference coming down to how the replacement springs and shocks perform - looking forward to reviews / info on that.

I was disappointed with the dobinson kit on my XH Commander.

Perhaps someone can chime in with experience on a KL?
i've read the exact opposite of OME kits but more focused towards wk2's . people putting dobinson lifts in wk2 have had less issues than ppl who went the ome kit

Hmmm... STILL waiting for info / feedback on how the Dobinson shocks and springs feel and perform... Also I've just tripped over info that the factory gear in at least TH is Koni shocks. I'm NOT happy about that as I am not a fan of Koni. I never considered that the factory shocks might be Koni but now I know for a certainty why it doesn't handle as well at speed on tight twisting roads as I expected it to (ie. even allowing for it being a tall SUV).

Have also read people saying they've used a combo of Aussie Lift and the Dobinson setup for a total of over 2 inches - for at least 5000 miles without issues!

EDIT / UPDATE: WOOHOO!!!!! - it seems Bilsteins have been available since September in the US - in both B4 and B6 versions. B4 are basically OEM equivalent and B6 are "Heavy duty" or "performance" version.
