Default suspension lifts for WK2

Just wondering if I can get some feedback on lifts that people are running on their WK2's, I have been getting very mixed messages from most of the suppliers so I thought some real world feedback would help (ride, handling etc).
I don't want to go anymore than 2 inch, 40mm would be ideal. So far pricing has ranged from about $450 for some Dobinsons springs to nearly 3 grand for OME fitted by ARB.

Cheers

Thanks Big Dave,
I have spoken to Murchison products and even that was confusing, as he told me they only do a 2.5 / 2.75 inch lift yet when I spoke to Uneek in Melbourne they told that Murchison do a 40mm kit.
That's why i figured if I can get some real world feedback I can hopefully make a more educated decision.

Cheers

I have Murchison setup. Rides like stock. Settles after some off roading.

Sits a little lower than the air suspension on highest setting.

Does top out. But so does the air suspension. Not sure if dobesons suffers from this because they include shocks and I don't know if they are longer.

In Ringwood if you wanted to see it.

I'm pretty sure the ARB kit includes shocks if that makes a difference to you.
