I've got an itch that I need to scratch badly.

I'm going to throw some $$ at the KJ. I've decided to get a 2.5 inch lift and an ARB Bullbar, eventually.
Only catch is, limited funds. So.... What should I do first? Bullbar then lift? or vice versa?

Both are about the same price (Bullbar is ARB. Lift kit is OME)

What would/should I get first?

If you go for the lift first, keep in mind the bar, as the extra weight will dictate the type of front coil bits you put in.

A word from Ohio in the U.S.
to properly run a bull bar you will need heavy duty springs, put one on stock suspension and you will be laying on the ground in no time, so I would
Lift first
Bull Bar next :wink:
Of course what do we know over here? You mates are the true off roaders :wink: :wink: :wink: :lol: :lol:

100% lift 1st, then the bull bar. I'd also contact CRDSTU, not ARB for your lift.

Stu is a privateer but his gear is the best around, if your not keen to fit the goods then buy them from Stu and get a local shop to fit them. Do a search on LOST for OzLtd (that's Stu) or CRDSTU on AJOR, send him a PM and he should get back to you. Sorry but I can't find his email atm, it's on my work PC :roll: .
