120 series prado, lift it or no lift it?

[uk_vette]

Hello All,

I am in a state of questioning what I actually need, as against what I think I need.

I have a 2005 LC 120 series, LC3, standard Mr. Toyota springs and shocks, as out of the factory.

So, on a drive down to Cape Town, sticking generally to tarmac roads, should I be thinking of a ''suspension lift'' ?

My rear springs are tired as they are now, so I do need to replace them, and probably get all 4 done with new shocks.

But, the 120 is already quite a high vehicle, and I don't particularly want to go any higher, if I don't have to.

I priced up the original Toyota spring replacement, and almost passed out with the cost quoted. So I don't think I will be going the original Toyota springs and shocks, unless I got a set of a wrecked land Cruiser.

I could live with a 20 - 30 mm lift, but I feel a full on 50mm is just too much.

Ideas and options please.
