Im going to buy 50mm lift coil springs for my newish standardish ln130 surf chamberands seem to have best price unless anyone has any suggestions, obviously will wind the bars up in the front until im ready to attack a more serious project, but can anyone advice on best option for shocks front and rear seems to be a big range and unsure what to go with, any advice for the lift would be great thanks,

will be throwing on a 50mm body lift at same time hopefully, so be good to get a bit of height as a base for future mods,

Hard to go past the OME springs and shocks for these.

2in lift, get the soft springs as they ride and articulate a lot better than the stiffer springs.

Front shocks don't offer much improvement, get something cheapish like Monroe.

ok cool, $250 about right for springs? anyone had any experiance with the "raw" shocks? they seem a good price and shops seem to like them

Suspension is probably the best improvement you can make to your truck, excluding tyres so don't just buy the cheapest.

Save a little bit and get the best springs and shocks you can afford. Find out what other people are using and get those, don't buy something you have never heard of.
