I'm no going for the full overhaul because I work with a bloke that has put pedders coils in the front and had the struts reset and the real leafs re set and it's gained pretty close to 2 inches. From memory it was only just over 1000.

Very happy with them. Got a fair bit of air on an erosion mound yesterday and it still landed nicely
My car has had a set of OME Nitro Chargers for many years and they are still good.
If you are planning on running a bullbar, winch, etc then I would say it would be a good idea to do heavy duty torsion bars too.
If not then factory should be OK.
Is that $2000 including fitting?
