I personally recommend ARB, I use their (coil) springs on my Vitara and they ride great and have not shown any signs of sagging so far. ARB generally get great reviews online as well, I've seem some mention that some of their leaf spring suspensions may sag, but I'd do some additional research on that part.

aye if u want check Westbourne, they have ARB wich is MUCH better dan Ironman sheit
dat next fella who used to sell ironman does tief people money and doh deliver on time

i hear it have men inside with van that still waitin fuh parts more dan a year now

i went and visit he once and he have real talk about ting he could do and whatnot, but real ppl does complain about he and how long he does take to do ting. yuh go pay yuh deposit and have to wait 6 months for some part that always missing and always waiting for clearance in miami or some other sheit excuse he does come up wit.

GO by westbourn they much better service and yuh pay more but yuh sure to get yuh suspension ARB fast.

If you want just want to buy and do the install on your own, order it your self. I ordered my ARB (OME) 2" Lift Kit for my '10 Ranger.

I got mine in 2 weeks and paid less than Westbourne.

I paid US$1200 including shipping to my freight forwarder. And you pay 30% duties and VAT. In total it came up to around TT$11K. I brought in some other items so it may vary by a + or - a couple hundred TT.
