Suspension Lift

I've been searching around for some shocks/struts and coils for the L series and have found the obvious choice of kings and KYBs. It is to my understanding these only upgrade the stock equipment, but still leaving the vehicle at standard height.

I had a look at the ironman packages http://www.ironman4x4.com/html/suspension_kits.html would the strut coil package suit the L wagon?

If not could anyone provide some info on lifting via suspension instead of body

Cheers milla

will work, but no body does it because you'll have nasty nasty positive camber, ie the front wheels will be (looking from the front of the car) \ engine /

if we had a different (and more modern) knuckle design, it would be possible

nothing to do with independant suspension, it's just how the suspension connects

totally different to big 4wds mate. Body lift and big tyres is about all you can do...maybe an inch of suspension lift with raised springs is about it.
