I have been on this forum for a while now and this is my first post. This forum is amazing.
My D22 was abolutley stock when i bought it last year. So after alot of reading i decided the best and most common thing to do was a lift and bigger tyres.
The EFS Kit had everything including shocks, tortion bars, leaf springs and bushes ect ($1375).

It was pretty easy besides lining up the new leaf springs wich was a bit of mucking around. I am yet to replace the front shocks as they foul on the UCA (need to grind the UCA).
I also put on 267 75s on the factory alloys. They are GT Radial Komodo Multi Terrains ($280 each fitted & balanced). Very chunky!

The lift gave about 40-50mm lift alround and the tyres 16mm.
(All measurements are from the ground to the bottom of the guard
position - original - lift - tyres = overall lift
front right - 838 - 894 - 910 = 72mm
front left - 845 - 894 - 910 = 65mm
rear right - 875 -928 - 944 = 69mm
rea left - 883 - 926 - 942 = 59mm
The ride has definatley improved, i put it down to the torsion bars (no more body roll) and the rear shocks (the originals were absolutely stuffed)
The tyres are a bit noisey as muddies usually are but it dosent worry me. I am yet to properly test them offroad.
Overall I am very happy with the outcome.
