Depending on which kit you go you will get better handling and comfort, more durability and more clearance and travel.

$2100 is too much IMO you could get the dobinsons kit for $1500 fitted easily and they're quality gear. If you don't want to go that high OME are priced well also I believe.

had arb (ome) suspenders on for about 2 weeks. ride is better drives and handles better stops the 3 bounces after a bump syndrome on the front end more ground clearance. only been on tar and dirt roads so far. greater wheel travel=better off road. think cost was more like $1600 fitted inc wheel alignment

I think a average price seems to be $1600 with about a 20mm lift.

Check out the thread titled "prices for suspension".
Most of the major brands mentioned and like stated $1600 is the normal price from ARB.

Confirmed by a call to head office, as I was checking out the availability of the LTR shocks from ARB
