I would give the OME springs a shot if I had a WH and throw in some Bilstine's that way you can get them re-valved to how firm you want them, one thing that cant be taken away from the OME springs is that I have not heard of them sagging..

I would buy the bits off ARB and find a good suspention shop that likes lifting 4x4's and get them to install it, (unless your handy with a spanner)

Those Kits are awsome in the way that you put it in all the bits are there and all of a sudden your Trucks 3 foot off the deck but they are not made with High way comfort in mind. Thats just my 2 cents anyways..

Modded? About to get into it. Have a WH CRD Ltd with only 19,000kms. Am very happy with QDII traction control - but the approach and ramp-over angles are woeful (as is the rebound damping on the OEM shocks). About to fit;
- Mopar bash plates (does anyone know of after-market engine bash plate? Seems Mopar only do t/fer case, suspension and fuel tank plates)
- Rocky-Road rock rails (bringing them back from the U.S. next month): http://www.rocky-road.com/media/WK_rockrail4.jpg
- ARB bullbar
- OME suspension (includes 50mm lift and stiffer front springs to take bullbar weight)
- Cargo barrier (Milford one-off)
- Tuningbox FI 'chip' - for 190kw & over 600nm of torque - hoo-hah!

Hello Guys, have just bought a Laredo CRD, about 2 weeks away.
Sorry to see my 2003 KJ go, it has been a fantastic vehicle, that has done cape york and towed my 16ft van around australia extremely well averaging 13.5L/100Km, I'm sure it's next owner will be just as pleased.
However, a bigger van is on the way & after looking at Toyotas the 3.5T towing capacity & torque swung me for the price. So now we start all over again, thanks for all the tips in the posts they helped greatly in the decision making.
Only one question the cargo barrier issue, where am I going to get one in Victoria and what are the implications for the curtain air bags???
