Default inexpensive lift kit

Earlier today I bought a 2010 KK petrol sport purely to get to difficult fishing spots. The ride height especially front seems a little low to tackle some of the more severe tracks. Can someone recommend an inexpensive lift kit in and around Perth, 1.5 to 2" would be OK. I won't be changing tyre size but just keeping the front valance from being bashed.

Many thanks

Hi bryan welcome to the club😃. Theres a lot on this topic in the forum you can do a search. In my opinion there are 2 main lifts everyones going with. The mopar lift wich you can get around $1000 and the crdstu for around $1500. I personally have the crdstu and love it.
Heres a link you can check out. Good luck and have fun

Don't know anything about these guys but being local to you they may be worth talking to.

Thanks for the response, the West Coast Suspension is more affordable for me.

Hi Bryan, IMO considering the $1100 investment in parts and huge effort plus expense required to fit the suspension (especially for the front) you're not doing yourself any favors going for the marginally cheaper option which is of unknown quality. What is their after sales support like? If you are super keen for a truly cheap lift then don't waste your money putting cheap springs and struts into the suspension, instead just fit coil spacers at the rear and strut spacers at the front. That would cost roughly $200 all up and you could do it yourself, also ditch the front air dam. Just remember to get a full realignment straight afterwards.

In the OP's situation surely spacers are the easy cheap option that will be appropriate?
