Upgrading a Land Cruiser 90 - Greece

Hi guys,

I own a Land Cruiser 90, V6 3.400cc, 5door, 2001 model, AT tires, IFS (independent front suspension), with all original parts (no extras).

The car is EXCELLENT on and off road!!!

I am tempted to spend some money on the car to:
a) increase the height (+4cm or appx 2inches), and
b) install rear air locking differentials

I am sure that somebody out there must have already done such modifications. i would like you to recommend brands and share your experience.

My main concern is not to sacrifice the car's overall excellent performance (on and off road) and not to affect the cars long term reliability.

Thanks for your replies!

Before I can give you some recommendations its good to know what your wheeling is like?
How do you wheel your rig (moderate trekking, some mud, lots of mud)? How often do you wheel? Do you wheel for fun or because you have to? What type of performance attributes dont you want to sacrifice?
