    More than 50mm lift will require a cert at an awful lot of WOF places. If you think that's not correct, enjoy the debate, and the waste of time arguing it. Best of luck.

    We use ARB Old Man Emu in Hilux's & Cruisers, it's an off the shelf solution that complies, and makes a huge improvement to ride & handling. New trucks get driven to the local ARB agent, the Old Man Emu suspension fitted and the brand-new Toyota stuff goes in the recycling bin. Job Done.
    Highly recommended. There will be better technical solutions I'm sure, but for us running half a dozen trucks it's a cost effective but very noticeable improvement. For a winch challenge truck, not good enough, but for a work truck that tows boats, goes hunting, and has to serve as an all-rounder, it's mint!

    Same with the Jimny even!

    If it works and it's cost effective its technically a bloody good solution. Agree the factory fitted crap is just a place holder between the chassis and the axles.
