Over here in the UK there isn't a lot of choice or availability of KJ modifications :(

I want to give my KJ (a V6 3.7 Ltd - prelowered) a 2-2.5 inch lift so I can fit bigger tires for offroading...

Can anybody recommend a) a good kit to fit and b) a supplier who would be willing to ship the parts to the UK??

Cheers,

Nick

You could give Rustys a call to see if he would be willing to ship over there. :)

I remember some posts a while back from someone in France who had Boulder bars - if they ship to France they should be able to ship to the U.K. - at least it's worth an email

I would also suggest the OME kit. Widely distributed, straightforward, proven quality.

Re the OME springs - is it as simple as replacing the existing springs/shocks with OME items??

Cheers,

Nick

yes mate

the rear is easy as pie

the fronts you might want to get someone to help you fit the strut and spring with a good hydraulic spring compressor

i have done over 90 000 kilometers on my ome springs and have had no major sagging, i cannot fault them for ride and handling
