Ive got the terrafirma lift kit.
You should know that the dampers that come with it are standard length so you have to specify +2 dampers if you want full use of the lift!

Ive got TF on my 90...

Medium springs all round.

like topless matt said, the springs are +2, but the shocks are standard in the kits.

Ive just put in a request from the better half for some of the +2 rears :)

Ive also got a -2 shock mount on the back. It works well. I'm happy.

What are you trying to achive?
Different kits and components suit different requirements. As already mentioned, some come with standard length dampers and thats not just Terrafirma.

If moneys tight then you don't need to buy it all at once. You could just change the dampers (and brake lines) first and then raise the ride height or vice versa. Red/white strip LR springs are a ecconmice lift spring for a 90, but withough a winch they tend to lift the front more than the rear. Vehicle and equipment weights have a significant effect on resulting lift.

I found a set of spacers on ebay, for £70.
you just fit them to the axles with the Std springs and shocks although I think I'd be happier with +2 shocks if I went that way.
I forget the "search" I did to find them but use your imagination...............
Cheers.............
