They're all good brands with OME being my top pick
Also consider Superior Engineering - Very good to deal with with great backup service

I had a dobinson 2" lift put in my 2017 hilux & I was very happy with it. In fact I've just put another dobinson lift kit in my 2022 hilux. This time I went with the adjustable remote reservoir shocks so I can get a good ride whether I'm out 4wding or towing the van. I also went with terrain tamer rear parabolic springs to save weight & get an even plusher ride.
What ever kit you go with, it will ride better than stock suspension as long as the springs are matched to the weight of the car.

I have a Bilstein/King/EFS 2" lift from Fulcrum and am happy. I went with the 500kg constant weight rear springs since I have an aluminium canopy, fitout and tow a caravan. Does the job well.

@ Silverfox, how have you found the terrain tamer parabolics? What weight did you go with?
Cheers

G'day all
I put the 500 - 700kg parabolics in. I have a tray & alloy canopy. Not sure what the car weighs but it doesn't have the full flash setup like lots of them.
The parabolics ride nicely with this setup & also don't sag much when the van is on. They certainly aren't harsh like a normal spring but still carry a load.
There expensive but I reckon there worth it.

@ Silverfox. Thats good your having a good run out of them. What shocks did you pair up with them? Im told that makes a massive difference.
