Because of that, I found the OEM lift too floaty and there was too much body roll for my liking. I kept the original springs but replaced the shocks with Fox performance ones and it tightened it right up.

Yeh it looks good value for the $

Ahh i see, yeh i understand ya, as in too much boat-like motion? Ah yep nice, so nice and firm now for road use and soft enough for off-road..

Speaking off, in the holiday break, i went up to 4wd1.com in castle hill sydney who quoted me about $2k for the rancho 2.5" adjustable lift kit fitted, which i thought sounded reasonable...have you drove on rancho's before?

I haven't myself, but I've heard good things about them. You could do a lot worse than fitting the Ranchos.
