Keeping in mind the outright amount of lift is governed by front end geometry and uni joint articulation limitations, essentially the Dobinson kit will achieve the same as the Aussie lift in terms of lifting - but at much more $$$ - so its real usefulness will be if the springs and shockies themselves are a marked improvement on the factory gear.
Dobinson reviews and feedback is a bit patchy with regard to 4WD lifts - in terms of the actual amount of lift people have ended up with (ie. differing from advertised) as well as vehicles ending up uneven - and in terms of the final handling qualities of the springs/shocks - so it'll come down to yeah, someone getting it done and reporting the result.
I'm fence sitting to see what feedback eventually comes out about the Dobinson setup as well as others like OME etc. (those will no doubt appear eventually). Otherwise, my leaning is to do the Aussie lift and fit Bilsteins - but again, there are no listings for those yet - so it's all a waiting game as far as spring / shockie upgrades - but the Aussie lift can be done right now by any of us for SFA cost...
