Lift kits, how big and where from etc.

[ZMattJ]

I've been looking on AJOR at peoples comments on different lift kits and thought that if people were interested that they could add details to this thread so that it could be used as a database for lifts.
Maybe something like this?

sounds like a great idea, I'm looking for info on 3.5-4" lifts

Currently: Old man emu springs, coils and front swaybar
Pros: good on and offroad
Cons: No higher than it was standard with up country suspension. Swaybar is less stiff than standard = wobbly on road (or so i'm told by others who drive it, i'm used to it). Not high enough
Cost: not sure, maybe around $1200

Jeep type:GC ZJ 5.2 1996
Lift Hight:4.5"
Where from:springs from Rubicon express, CA's (upper and lower) trackbar front and rear from JKS, Bilstiens shocks
Pros: great flex, good onroad
Cons: don't know TB for the RH-drive?

I have a 2007 WH Grand CRD and have had the vehicle lifted 50mm with OME springs, they are also 20-30% stiffer. Rear shockers and front struts have been replaced with Bilsteins.
had the job done in Brisbane at the ARB dealer, Westside 4X4 Accessories, Unit 7, 89 Jijaws St, Sumner Park Ph 07 3715 6400. The guy that owns the place has a V8WH Grand and does a lot of off road stuff. He has this tested the setup on his.
I think that the Commander springs and shocks are the same.
I have just returned from a trip up to Darwin towing a 5m off road van in the order of 1900kg fully loaded. Van towed exceptionly well, sat on 100km/h all the way, averaged about 18-19 ltrs/100kms with the air on all the way as well.
I use a load distribution hitch but it only takes off 80-100kgs ball weight. There is no need for airbags as the vehicle sits quite level.
Total cost was about $1900.

Cheers Hemi

The details that are in that thread are great but it does not go in to the pros and cons of the different lifts. I mean that people could also give details of bad lifts as well as good, or give advice on what other additional changes they had to do to complete the lift.
