till know i did not find a garage that can do it and i was thinking of taking some parts from other lc series.
a friend of mine suggested to fix a coil over shocks at the back and he said it is much easier and cheaper
will the coil over shocks work?
but on shop suggested to get king off-road shocks and said it will be much better.

my target is to make the car as comfort as i can....
will changing shock will make a big different if so what is the best shocks that i can fix (OME, king, fox, ironman, pro comp,blistin.......) any recommendation (price is not a big issue for my comfort)

If I were you I would go with either fox or bilsteins, maybe these bilsteins would be good for your needs.

who is the local dealer of fox and blistin?

i talked to a shop in the car show in dubai and i think it was ranger in AD he offered king shocks 3" for almost 8000 and 2" for 6000

with blistin i was thinking of 5165 Series but i think 7100 Series is better

gas/nitro is definitely better than oil. Gas stays relatively the same viscosity whilst oil foams up and gets hot in offroad applications. I'm not sure who the dealer is for bilsteins, but if you find a good dealer then I would get them!
