Hi Bill,
My previous Hilux I had fitted up with OME (ARB) which was fine. Current vehicle (Mazda BT50) I went for Ironman and I have been very satisfied with their kit. My recent experience/s with ARB with other products has been disappointing to say the least, so personally I would steer clear ARB where there are other options.

Good luck!

Cheers, Geoff

I have a Bilstein / King spring combination on mine and and apart from the lift,improved the vehicles handling and ride considerably.
Have a look over at www.newhilux.net and you will find lots of good information on the subject. There are a number of reports of sagging suspension with the OME setup so be mindful of choosing the correct rated springs to accomodate bars, winched, dual batteries etc if necessary
