Re: advice on suspension for 90 and lift kits supplyers bran
Main choices are Old Man Emu and Iron Man. Yes there are others Dobinsons etc, but why make life that hard trying to get them. Iron Man seems to be the new OME to be fair. I was very happy with Emu but they can be a trifle hard. The softer set up on IM seems very good. And the big bonus is that it's way cheaper. You can't lift a 90 too far as it's independent front suspension and the wishbones don't take kindly to being banged against the coils.
A lot of this depends on what you want it for, why, how much and how handy you are on the spanners. So really you might be best absorbing that and then fine tune your question a little more. West Coast 4x4 do the IM set up and TBR in Peterborough are usually the most common for OME (yes there are other suppliers.)
You can stick a body lift on as well which looks pretty handsome together with the suspension. Milner do that.

Re: advice on suspension for 90 and lift kits supplyers bran
Iv'e got 2 inch Iron Man on my 120 series, which is a little or a lot like the 90 series.
There is a note to remember when ordering the Iron Man, and that is to make sure you get the right strength spring, or spring loading could be a better word.
There are A : B : & C types.
When I had mine fitted, they were too hard. I think they were for carrying and additional 350kg, over and above the standard weight carrying springs, which was already sufficient for me.
After a week, I asked Paul at West Coast 4X4, about the hardness, no problem, he swaped them to a more 'road orientated' spring, which drives exactly as smooth as the originals.
I think he took the B springs off and put the C springs on.
Mine rides great. No complains.
