its a touch low, not much really. Are your rear leaf springs level or bowed?

measure from the wheel cntre straight up until you meet the wheel arch. measurement is 17" for standard height and can be 1" higher for the rear.

Llama 4x4 will sell you rough country which is on the cheaper side of lift kits. a bespoke kit should be able to be bought for around £750 or cheaper, as its not a case of just bolting on bigger rear springs and coils at the front.

track bar will most likely need adjusting (redrilling of location hole)
there maybe transmission vibes so rear axle might need shimming by a coupl of degrees.
transfer cross member might need dropping 1"
4 new dampers as these might not be supplied with the kit.

the price doesnt include garage lobour charges etc
