I am considering installing a basic 2" lift kit for the time being to go along with bigger tires on the stock wheels simply to improve the stance and look of the LC until I can get around to justifying a full on build in a few years once momma has grown tired of it and allows me to go crazy with the build. I am usually of the mindset of buy once, cry once and would forgo this purchase altogether holding off until I am allowed to do it right and do it one time. But momma made me promise to leave the vehicle "relatively stock" lol and she's only requested bigger AT tires which I hope I can accomplish along with sneaking in a simple 2" lift at the same time.
For those of you who currently have or who have owned 200's with a simple OME, Bilstein or Dobinsons kit what are your thoughts? Was the ride quality compromised over stock, did it settle over time, did it handle your gear and payloads and remain a reliable kit? Have you moved on and upgraded to a top tier kit like King's, BP-51's, etc. and if so was the juice worth the squeeze? If you had to do it all over again would you have stayed with the economical basic option? For those of you still running an entry level kit, is there a reason why you've chose to stick with it and forgo the upgrade to a pricier kit? Thanks in advance for any insight or opinion.
