Everyone has there own idea on what is best... and everyone here will give you a different answer... best bet is research... lots of research... learn everything you want to do, compare different lifts, search for feed back, find build up of people who have done things... Its easy to ask what to put in there but if you dont understand what needs to be done then your going to accomplish fuck all. The search button is your friend. So is google. My 2 cents non the less. START CHEAP! Commodore/hiace shocks & efs/ome springs. dont try to be tricky and do a reverse shackle 3/4 ellipctical ruf or your going to struggle... Just do a basic lift and use that as a starting point... drive it for a few months, then when you want more... start researching a different setup. |

is your suspension too stiff? if its just because its leaning then swap the sides. i think your rig has too have 2" already or else you wouldnt be riding on 31's without some serious guard work or body lift. im going OME in the rear and ruf. im replacing my shitfull 2" lift due the the rigidness/ limited flex and poor ride comfort. i have some no name ebay crap DONT GET IT. also rubber bushes over urthane if flex is what your after also as said above commonwhore and hiace/hilux shocks are cheap and good, im use them and am very happy there are many ways to do ruf including farily simple and complicated dependin on what you want to achieve, ie moving diff forward and allowing larger tyers etc. |

also as said above commonwhore and hiace/hilux shocks are cheap and good, im use them and am very happy I used to think the same about spring bushes. No longer though. I run OME bushes and ebay urethane bushes and they are both quite stiff. The fact is, they both still flex untill other things in my suspension bind or prevent more travel. If your suspension is set up to flex well, it will, no matter what bushes you have in there (short of wooden ones (Hello Zukenutter ) or something....lol).
The commodore/2wd Hilux is an OK starting point. I really struggle to give an exact answer on what works, because over the 5.5 years of owning my Sierra, I have had that many different suspension configurations in it, and none of them I have been 100% happy with. Maybe oneday I'll totally get the shirts with it, and figure out how to coil it

Said it before and I'll say it again, we dont pick on peoples spelling here so I will go another step. If you reply with nothing other than I cant understand you or dont use txt speak or whatever youll find yourself faceless or similar  If you cant understand it dont read it or reply to it, I am sure some of the higher calibre (lol) posters here can decipher most stuff but choose to comment on the spelling rather than answer the post (probably cause they dont know the answer) If knowing what is typed really means that much to you then make an effort to understand or clarify, remember its the poster that is missing out with a poorly built post, not you |
