100 series Landcruiser

[100Smick]

Hi Toyota owners club. I just put a deposit down on a great condition 100 series Landcruiser which has IFS front suspension and 1HD FTE turbo diesel. It is basically stock and I was wondering if the auto height adjustment from with in the cabin which was shown to me and which appears on the dash as low, neutral and high I think . Is this going to be a problem if wanting to put a 2 in  lift kit or any type of suspension modifications ?

Hi Mick I have the same car (and its great) and made enquiries about the same as I tow a caravan. I was informed by a suspension guy here in Perth that I would need to have the self levelling system (SLS) disabled and then have the lift kit and upgraded and airbags fitted at a cost of $2800. However I was told by a rep from the Air Bag Man at the Perth 4x4 show that I can have the airbags fitted without disabling the system and I am going to look at upgrading the rear springs alone. So to answer your question you need to talk to a specialist suspension guy that are familiar with the SLS.

Mick the other thing to look at is get rid of the stock exhaust and put a 3" system on you will notice your turbo will perform better as you will have reduced the back pressure and allow it to spin earlier. I also put a DP Chit on mine from Andrew at Berrima Diesel in NSW, so if you have any questioins about your rig on the diesel side I highly recommend them.

I have heard mixed reviews about these guys.

The other go to guys are Bailey's Diesel Group, definitely worth checking out.
