@misterclean Did you end up installing the Dobinsons stock height kit? How do you like the ride? What was the previous suspension? I ask because I am considering new suspension for my J78 as well and went to a local ARB dealer bc I wanted the ARB OME but they couldn't source a match for the J78! I've heard ARB is superior to Dobinsons from a reliability standpoint. ThanksI would just order the Dobinsons Stock Height Restoration Kit and have it installed in the US. As far as I know, there are no similar kits offered by JDM companies. Every JDM lift I have seen is an unrecognizable brand. Other shops in Japan will build using the same kits we would order in the US.
On the topic of a stock height kit, I am unaware of any other brand (ARB, Ironman) that offers a kit specific to the J78. For me, the decision was easy since I had no other option. I ordered a few weeks ago from Dobinsons USA and was quoted a 3 month lead time on the stock heigh springs. I hoping to get those in before summer.
