I would like to hear what really is necessary to do to the suspension, (air bags, lift kits, up grade suspension etc) 

Also i would like some recommendations on buying Bull bars, winches, and accessories etc. From where or who and what. 

I am from Sunshine coast area.

Hi there Scott V and welcome to this great forum there is sure to be some on here that can answer your question however as you are new here may I suggest that you post your question in the " Techie " section as you will find it will get a much bigger audience there as this page is not watched as closely as others , in the meantime I would also suggest using the search button up top in the middle of the page and search " Suspention " or " troopy " even " airbags " and you will learn much while you await a response.

Safe travels

Woody

Bull bars. Winches etc.
Are different items. Only you know if you want them or not.

For towing.

Better quality shocks. I always Use Mid range EFS. Cheap and very reliable
Never had a problem in last 5 cars..

Upgrade rear springs\coils for that weight. Definitely.
Toyo's sag like you wouldn't believe in arse end.

Airbags CAN cause chassis problems.

Front coils\torsion bars? upgrade to suit. AFTER you tried towing that rig.
Depending on Bar\winch etc.

If Auto.
a Torque Converter LOCK UP KIT really helps
in both towing. Transm Overheating. and fuel costs.

You got that V8 donk. Power abounds.
if old 100 ser donk.
A Flash or chip helps immensly

I reckon with all the weight you are adding to the car you will be lucky to tow more than a 7x5 trailer legally.
