i went for the 3" shocks and springs, procomp setup with es1000 shocks £340 ish for the lot. Ideally though you will need extended hoses aswell which your best off fitting before the lift. Hoses can be found form various shops online, got mine from llama 4x4. Hving the hoses fitted first makes life much easier when fitting the new springs as you can drop the axle right down and pop them in, otherwise the short hose will stop this and you will need to compress the springs. Id did my rear hose at the same time as fitting the susp.3 hoses in total, one rear two front cost about £50 delivered.
Then, caster correction bush kit. this improves the floatyness of a 3" lift but is more effective on a 2" lift apparently. Ive not fitted the bushes yet although i do have them here... mine isnt too bad as it is but some seem to be worse than others for needing the caster correction.Bushes around £80-90 for the 4 on the front.
As a minimum though you need shocks springs and hoses. After that theres adjustable panhard rods to move axles back to centre but wouldnt say you NEED them straight off.
Body lift, ive not done one so will leave that to someone else, i know theres a bit faff with the bumpers refitting and the steering shaft needs extending etc but not looked into it in great detail as yet as its not on my plans for now.
This is basically what ive picked up over the 2-3 weeks ive owned one so someone with better knowledge will be able to help better im sure.
Overall though, you do make a sacrifice when lifting the susp, strange steering and tip toe handling lol but all the extra bits helps to improve it, along with the steering damper i found, that helped.
