the kit (incl torsen bars) is Old man Emu, ran about $1850 for the full kit, body lift was about $200 from one of the guys on here..

And yeah, need to cert the body lift, but if its a offroad only car i`d doubt you`d have problems..

that would be a nice set up! not looking to spend that much but put a bid on some rear raised springs, if i put them in will i need to get new rear shocks?

If its only for offroad and you need to clear guards...

Cut them.

have a look and see what shocks it has, if they are the factory toyotas then they may be to short, if they have been replaced at some stage they will probably be long enough because most aftermarket replacements are 50mm longer. Don't bother replacing the front torsions, just wind them up to suit the rear lift. There is a lot of info on here about them.
