Lets talk lift kits (1 Viewer)

I'm planning to put a lift on my FZJ75 troopy that I'll have here in the state shortly.

Trying to get recommendations for a lift kit for it, and currently have 3 real options from what I've seen:

1. OME 2"-3" lift from Cruiser Outfitters $2285 Cruiser Outfitters - http://www.cruiseroutfitters.com/sus_75series_dakar.html

2. Dobinsons Full IMS Suspension $3045 Dobinsons 4x4 Full IMS Suspension Kit for Toyota Landcruiser 75 Series - FJ75, HJ75, BJ75 11/1984 to 01/1990(Drum Brake Rear) - https://www.dobinsonsdirect.com/products/dobinsons-4x4-full-ims-suspension-kit-for-toyota-landcruiser-75-series-fj75-hj75-bj75-11-1984-to-01-1990drum-brake-rear?rq=mk_toyota~md_75-series-landcruiser-troop-carrier-rear-drum-brake~yr_1985-1990

3. Ironman 4x4 $2819 but can be had 25% off at times Foam Cell Pro 2" Suspension Lift Kit Suited for 75 Series Land Cruiser - https://ironman4x4america.com/foam-cell-pro-2-suspension-lift-kit-suited-for-75-series-land-cruiser/

Wondering what everyone's recommendations are. The Dobinsons also has a full adjustable reservoir system for 4285.

Have obviously heard great things about the OME, but unsure of what lifts people are putting on their 70 series.

Thanks!

ome here
seems to be the standard, and available with different load ratings so you can dial it in to your needs
i love how mine rides

The better (?) upgraded shocks with the Dobinson probably will give you a better ride

Keep in mind we are a stocking Dobinsons dealer @ Cruiser Outfitters. It's quite common for us to do a hybrid kit. We also stock any 'while you're in there' parts you may need including extended sway bar links and hardware we provide complimentary with suspensions. The OME kit you linked is an Ultimate, we have a Budget version that includes an aftermarket (non-OME) shackle, spring pin and ubolt, for around $200 less, all great quality parts made for the 7x.

Long and short, we'd love to help and can ship a kit as soon as tomorrow! Info@cruiseroutfitters.com

I have the Dobinson 60 mm lift on my LJ77. I very happy with it.

I got the Ironman FCP kit back last spring on sale for $1250ish. I think prices have increased since then.

Be aware that it didn't include bushings or shackles or hardware. I thought I could make do with my old stuff, but it was shot.
Adding that stuff was another $300ish.

Happy with the performance, though I've yet to offroad with the new setup.
Can't compare it with the other choices since I haven't been around them, but it was a vast improvement over the original springs with a broken leaf!
