Uninsurable it will not be, have cover for the 3" lift already with certificates. The kit is a bit of a mongrel system utilising the Toytec modified Bilsteins and Eibach springs. It involves changing out the upper control arms for the Light Racing type. Also takes care of CV angles by dropping the diff and relocating the sway bar. It'll be a good package once the correct spring rates are sorted, which the yanks are having a bit of a problem understanding right now. Nothing is unattainable if you're willing to accomplish it, the fact that the 150 was 15mm lower than the 120 from the factory was the main motivation for going higher with the lift. I just don't understand why they'd do this for the fuel savings, but I guess it appeals to folks who'll purchase the Prado purely for its people carrying capacity.
The lift will be a lot closer to 2.75" as that's about all I can afford to go with regards to clearance with my carport beams. The other solution was to ask BHP to lift my carport for me, but I reckon that would've been rejected politely, so I'm willing to settle for the 2.75" for now.
Cheers,
Chris.
