depends on how far you want to go. alot of people only change the prop if they get alot of vibration or are using it at extreme angles often. also castor arms are debatable to whether you need them. all depends on your individual motor. try and stay away from h.duty springs as they wont have as much flex in them.

First question to ask is what you want the vehilce to do?

This can make a huge diffference to what is better suited to your needs. It can also make a biggo difference to your budget, too.

Personnally...

For your planned usage, I wouldn't bother with a lift kit.  Apart from increased body roll, increased insurance costs, need for castor corrected arms etc etc... You wouldn't really gain anything.

I'd just fit LR HD rear springs, and a set of good quality dampers....  but that's just me.

Gotta go with Porny here - fitting the HD springs will probably give you about an inch of lift, but it'll transform the handling on road and off - it'll make for better towing too (not so much of an issue with a jet-ski, but it may if you're moving owt with a bit o' mass to it).

Best of all, the LR HD springs are well made and cheap!  :cool:

With it being stuff designed for the vehilce, it shouldn't make any odds to the rest of the drive train either. Which could save you a packet. More money for jet-ski juice!
