Hey was just wondering what the best lift kit is for the 91 2.8 Mu.
If anyone can shed light on what is available and which best fits the mu with minimal modifications.

Im guessing from previous posts that your in Aussi.
how you lift will depend a lot on your intended use. If its going to be a road car with a lift just for show the only advise is dont do it. If however you want a fire breathing off road monster have a look at Muvit Madness's truck. Of course there are many options inbetween.
A good compromise is 50mm raised springs on the back (popular brands are Ironman and EFS) then adjust the front torsion bars to match and a new set of shocks. Also recommended at the same time is a ball joint flip and wheel alignment. If moneys tight the shocks can be done later with no drama unless your current shocks are faulty. This allows the fitting of up to 32 inch tyres and reasonable clearance while still retaining good on road manners.
If you want to go to 33 inch tyres then a 50mm body lift would be the next step. You can buy kits off the shelf but money can be saved getting the blocks and bolts separately. This gives nearly 300mm under the transfer case with 33s which will handle all but the hardest tracks. Going further means spending money or risking reliability or both. The higher you lift things the more strain on the cv joints. These are not fun to change in the bush.
