You can order a Poly kit with Fox shocks. after talking to the Engineering guys at Poly and hearing things like the valving on the Poly shocks took 6 months to get right you have to admire their work.
All I can suggest is to get a kit with parts that compliment each other like AEV and Poly.
My synergy set up is awesome both on road and off, absolutely no comparison to my Arb set up. It is however, more comprehensive.
With regards to the Fox gear, they are the future no doubt, but worth the money?
Looking forward to what 4x4 Australia magazine's feedback is to me re the Poly Shocks. They are currently testing them in their Jk across the Simpson.

Wouldn't the shocks be too firm for a 2dr in the back end? I mean, they're both 4dr and 2dr shocks, it seems to be OK in the USA but here we have the diesel to worry about, a 2dr CRD auto is a bit like a sausage dog with a big steak in its mouth, runs around with its back legs in the air, fairly big weight difference. I wonder how much I'd have to offer/beg to get someone up here with them installed to swap shocks with me for a day LOL

And are they suitable for use on a 2" lift? Both front and rear will require limiting straps so the driveshafts don't get munched, obviously but I suspect the compressed length would be such that once the bumpstops are fitted there'd be stuff all up travel?

The price on them is very good considering what they are...only cheaper monotube is the Bilstein.

As far as diesel is concerned, I have a slight rake in the front without spacers, but when loaded the truck sits flat. These were rated with the Poly Bar on it which is quite light compared to the Arb.
We dont do a 2" for SWB only the unlimited, and yes bumpstops should be mandatory as with any lift!
