Default wk2 suspension lift

Gday everyone
Thinking of raising the wk2 for better clearance.
Has anyone tried the lift from rocky-road.com? It gives 2.5" lift & is basically spacers for standard springs & shocks.
Thanks
Barry

ARB will have something out very soon and Murchison off road have something out now which IMO is better...

Yeah definitely wouldn't go just spacers myself. From all accounts the murchison lift is an excellent product and have heard it actually improves the handling of the car. Definitely go for new shocks/springs

Have driven one with Rocky road kit , it had an odd floaty feeling.
Murchison lift is springs & anti top out plates. Jeep drives a treat with it fitted.
ARB has one coming OME shocks & all , but like all it's WK2 stuff on the go really bloody slow plan.

What do the anti top out plates in the Murchison kit do? I'm assuming they somehow protect the shock (or coil?) when fully extended?

Why does the ARB kit not come with these - because they include new shocks as part of their kit?

You got it , stops the shocks topping out.
The ARB kit will come with longer shocks i would say .
They haven't had much time to develop it , so hard to say really.
