Give Wooders a yell or give Sean at ABT a yell. Wooders is on here and an advertiser and ABT advertises here as well...

I'm looking at a 3.5 inch lift kit and not keen on OME either.

Both Wooders and Suburban sell other springs too - I have been looking at the Rubicon Express coils...

Just be careful with anything over a 2" lift. Will first of all change transfer case angles, etc. More importantly you can void your insurance with more than the state allowance. Qld is 50mm or 2" above standard. Some guys won't fit anything more than 50mm as they then become liable if anything happens.

You'll also need a compliance plate for the mods, but these are usually easily done.

Hope this helps,

John.

SUB, do both OME and Rubicon lifts in 1" to in excess of 6" for the grand, product range is not just limited to that on the website. Both systems offer very different ride and flex properties and we believe are the best in the marketplace.

This is corrrect and you need to be aware of the issues in these areas.

Get both driveshafts redone. going through this process now to prepare for the 4" or 6" next step I'm doing (but then again I've been gunna for a while ) Brake lines need a shot too, as well as the track bar, with tyres I'm a little over 3" up from standard and there's almost 1" difference between the passenger and drivers side front wheels when compared to the guard.

Whats the plan for your track bar as anything from the US is different due to different driver side, please let me know on where you get it from or if you customise it.
