Hi Bravoowner .. did you lift it? I went with EFS on mine. All good. Just wound up front to a good position to keep some droop and the EFS leaf springs jacked me up 50mm in the rear.

if you try to cut costs it will come back and bite you in the arse, it is always best to get the correct suspension set up that will last you for a long time, the EFS kit is great, you will need 4 x shocks, a pair of leaf springs, new U bolts, new shackles/bushes, wind up the front, and a wheel alignment. Shop around for a good price.

Mate a good quality EFS kit is $1295 drive in / driveout
Don't muck about with spacers. It will still handle like shit
Cheers
