Hi, I'm looking for a 2" lift kit.

There's cheap basic option or full kit options which is 5x more in price. I've attached photos of both.

What are the benefits of spending 5x more?

If you want to spend months driving across the outback relying on your vehicle with your life, then go for OME. If you just want a higher ride height so you can fit bigger tyres, go for the blocks.

Could you do both?

Possible, but more than 2" will require expensive castor correction, so in practice no.

Good to know. Thanks. Is there any kits to do this? I'm struggling to find much info on NP300 lift kits.

Need to fit 33" tyres in without rubbing.

I did find a Superior Engineering 4" lift kit; 5k though!

You can fit 32" tyres without modification.

If you look at the picture below you will see that it is quite tight at the front of the wheel where the bumper wraps around. 33" tyres will rub just there.

A 2" lift should be enough for 33" tyres so you might as well fit the relatively cheap spring spacers.
There are quite a few other variables (tyre width, wheel width etc,) so if it does still rub a bit then some 25mm wheel spacers will fix it.

Good tip on the spacers, thanks. It's amazing what difference they make to the stance isn't it? Aesthetically, at least. I suppose a wider track will help with side hilling, I don't know the technical term!

I think suspension-wise, as I'm planning some off road holidays, I will look at a 2" kit, with longer shocks and springs. If it was just for looks, I'd stick the blocks in, no problem.

Sounds a good plan. The longer shocks and dampers will give you more suspension travel.
The spacers fill out the arches a bit more and you are right a bit more stability on and off road.
