A 2-inch lift is the most popular choice for the Patrol GQ Ute, providing clearance for 32-33 inch tyres while maintaining streetable ride quality and avoiding the need for extensive modifications. This height improves approach and departure angles for off-road work without significantly affecting the Ute's load-carrying geometry or centre of gravity. Consider your typical payload and accessory weight when selecting leaf spring ratings, as heavier constant loads benefit from firmer spring packs to maintain ride height and prevent sagging.
Yes, a professional wheel alignment is essential after installing any suspension lift on your Patrol GQ Ute. Lifting the vehicle alters suspension geometry and can affect toe, camber and caster angles, leading to uneven tyre wear and poor handling if left uncorrected. Most reputable workshops can accommodate lifted 4WDs, and proper alignment will ensure your upgraded suspension performs as intended while maximizing tyre life and maintaining safe steering characteristics.

Their components provide substantial improvements in load capacity and ride quality over worn factory suspension while maintaining affordability for tradies and recreational users alike.
