Hi folks,
I was wondering what the average cost of an aftermarket
suspension system would be including fitting. I know this will vary a bit depending on brand and supplier/fitter but I am looking at something decent like a koni or bilstein system but open to other suggestions. Budget of around 2k am I dreaming??

2 grand may get you the Koni shocks if you are a bloody good negotiator or have incriminating photos of the salesman with someone other than his wife!
There are budget
suspension systems about that will satisfy your budget but again, you need to be very sure of your requirements ie; type of travelling, load, towing etc.
I've had a couple of upgrades to various vehicles over the years and with a decent set of shocks (Tough Dog Big
Bore adjustable), springs and coils you are looking around the $4K mark give or take fitting. That's quality or custom equipment.
As I said, there are cheaper systems out there that have a good Reputation - Look at Ironman systems.
Cheers Mick

Haha
well I might have to get some surveillance happening then! In the mean time I think I may have to reprioritise a few things with regards to spending. Thought I might be dreaming with 2k and I certainly don't want to compromise on quality. I have big plans for my rig and have already spent dollars on roof rack, bullbar,
snorkel, drawer system,
water tank etc. Looks like the fridge and dual battery system is going to have to wait a while longer! Thanks for your response it was just the info I was after. Cheers Craig

Got my 200 Sahara with Kinetic
suspension, lifted 2in, Oldman Emu all round, uprated springs with shock guards $1750. Not entirely happy with franchise supplier though as they didn't replace the security key for my wheels back into the glove box and left me high and dry in
Marble Bar. That oversight and their lack of concern, coupled with a bad attitude, has cost them my future projects of diff lockers and larger tanks which would have been worth a few K to them.
