Try TBRUK (link) they do 2" lift springs which will probably give you +3" over a sagging standard one.

My truck has been hammered since I fitted my sus lift over a year ago and it's all good

Just done 3000 miles to the Pyrenees and back - not a squeak from any part of the suspension

I fitted the Pro Comp 2in lift and it's a cheap and cheerful option but a bit soft on the back for my taste, sorry I can't put a link in here yet but they're in Cheshire on 01565 754988 and on the web at explorerprocomp.co.uk

Another reccomendation for West Coast 4x4 - just fitted the IronMan 4" lift kit to mine. Looks good gear so far & Paul & the guys are very helpful.

Lift kit install thead

Good luck whichever way you go.

Too late for me Sad

But I got the impression that it was going to be a little out of my price bracket...

And once I get this lot dialled in, I'm sure I am going to be delighted with it!!! Although, whilst I was up at their place last weekend, one of their regulars rolled in on 38's & a 6" lift kit that made mine look rather silly Rolling Eyes

Can't remeber his name but thanks for that Wink

i have used frog island early in the year, they are based in abingdon oxfordshire
picked up +2" shocks and +2" springs and 1 damper for £250
i was fitting 35" tyres so gave the body a 2 inch lift
works for me.

cheers guys for the info might go for the ironman 2" lift kit from west-coast but does anyone know if i can fit 35"s on with just a 2" lift ? cheers simon

Gavlad · Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2009 16:48 Post subject:

I believe that you can fit 35's with a 2" lift - Wildsmith on this forum might be able to confirm as I think he had them on his '93... They're on my 94 now Cool

I think they caught on the plastic corner trims of the front bumper where they tuck under and I just trimmed those a bit. We still have 35's on but now with an ARB front bumper, and a bit more lift. I ran 35" Simex on my 94 with just a 2" lift for ages but they were only 10.5" wide.
