Hi, went crazy on the weekend and bought a shmicko 100 series Landcruiser (couldn't afford not too for the price!), 4.5, 5 speed, live axle, dual fuel, full service history, alloy bar, hayman reese etc to park next to my trusty GU. This one's a real plum, one fastidious lady owner literally!

I will pick it up soon and want to upgrade the suspension a.s.a.p. Looking for a 50mm lift. I'll be carrying a bit of gear in it too - tools, fridge etc. It must handle well on road as well as off road. I'll be doing a lot of km's in it so I don't want vague steering or a sea-sickness inducing rolling feeling etc. Practical is the go here.

From actual experience, what is the pick of the crop for 100 Series suspension? Kings and Koni's, Lovells, OME, Bilsteins ????? Steering dampers too?

By going up 50mm, will I need a castor kit and if so what is the best brand to get?

Also, has anyone Unichipped a 4.5 Toyota engine running dual fuel? What do ya reckon?

Thanks in advance everyone. Cheers.
