Nice prado...
dont let people fool you into thinking that you can only lift her 50mm....my neighbour has a suspension business and successfully lift new hiluxs and prado's between 3 and 4" depending on the customers requests...
no cv problems......
Ive given my hilux hell for near on 70,000km on a 3" lift and 33's, so yuor prado will not be any different....
good luck with your build.

Personally I wouldn't worry about colour coading the bar, because it will cop a few hits, scrapes and scratches, and what I have found it is much easier to get a pressure pack can of satan black to patch it up than trying to find the same colour as the vehicle to patch it. Yes my bar is colour coded and that is the problem I have found. Plasma rope is good but you must keep it clean.
