are you a leaf or coil spring at the rear. Leaf is much cheaper and easier, leaf just wants shakles to lift the rear.
Coil needs new coils (you can try packers, but dont think any one has).

Both idealy need new longer shocks after to get full articulation, but some do that later to spread cost.

Either type the front is just a 27mm socket to lift the front torsion, again bigger shocks would be useful.


You can go the full Monty with a kit for control arms, replacement parts etc but into 4 figures for that.

Ball park,
Shakles for a rear £40 pair on ebay if theyre about.
Coils (Trooper hd coils from explorer) £100
Shockers £27 a corner

So not that bad. Best to do the lift first as it will make room for bigger tyres if you do muds/at's at a later date.

Many many guides as to where to get stuff and better choice plus fiiting in suspension area.
