well ive decided that bender the defender needs some lift in his step and looking at getting a lift kit for the defender just wanted to know what recommendations were out there and if anyone knew of any good suspension kit deals going at the moment

ive got a bull bar on the front and sidesteps, and expedition roof rack which goes on occasionally. and about to put on a bearmach wheel carrier on the back, its been suggested to me i put a 500 kg rated shockie n coil combo in the front and a 300kg in the back

ive been quoted nearly $2000 for nitrocharger kit fitted, just wanted to know if anyone cold beat this, had a chat with some mates who have fitted their own and have offered to help fit them so the extra cash ill save on getting it fitted i might put into better suspension


suggestions?

Talk to Shane here..https://www.suspensionstuff.com.au/shop/, he will ask you what bars you have/plan to have and will fix you up with a kit which will suit your cars weight and needs as best he can:)
And i'm shore he will have a kit for alot cheaper than 2k;)
I have found his prices very good

CHEERS TIM.

Definitely agree with Long Stroke. Just got a new kit for my Disco 1. Way less than a grand, (fitted it myself in about 3 hrs). Good warranty. Works really well.

can get a kit off ebay, either tough dog or iron man both for under a grand.

Got a Bilstein kit, very happy with it, used 130 shocks in the front as I have a bar and winch. Fitted it with a friend, took several hours 90% of which was on the first front corner, realised we didn't need to undo quite as much as we thought!
