im looking for a good value lift kit for a swb sierra that will be a good daily drive and still flex up nicely.. what do you recomend??

[Scrawny]

Coily or leafy?

[juzzys]

sorry its a nt leafy.. looking at around 2 or 3 inches

[Gwagensteve]

You won't achieve a good daily drive or flex with 3" of spring lift.

Any reputable off the shelf kit will do. They are all around 2" of lift, which is the most that can be achieved without custom fabrication.

If you ask for opinions on which is best, you'll get a list of every kit available with some people for and against each kit.

I'd be trying to keep lift height as low as possible with a NT.

Steve.

Blupac is good gear, pretty sure its aussie made... and it has a 3 year warranty...

I have only heard good stuff about tough dog, but, it is quite expensive...
You can only buy/spend according to your budget, and tough dog was way out of my budget...

I will not be recommending BLUPAK. I fitted a set with 50mm lift 10 months ago and am very disappointed. the Rh rear is now 35mm lower than l/h and I just noticed the lower leaf on the l/h/s has BENT. I am searching for my Paypal records to test out their warranty.

Thanks mate! I'll check that out.. I'd forgotten this topic ever existed!! Lol

[Macca52]

I owe Blupac an unreserved apology. After slagging them for my sagged and bent rear springs ,I checked my records to find that they are not Blupac springs. They are from another Ebay supplier and unbranded.
I am sorry Blupac.

How'd you find out that king springs makes them? And do you have a coil kit or leafy?

MATE BLUE PAC IS REALLY GOOD GREAT QUAILTY STUFF AND VERY CHEAP ALSO POSTAGE IS LIKE $8.00 FRIEGHT

PM ME IF YOU NEED MORE INFO

[RAPTOR88]

So wats the final verdict on bluepac?
Good quality?
Good off and on road?
Good flex?
Are the bushes Polly or rubber?
How long until they start to sag?
Does it solve the Zook drier side lean?
Value for money?
I was looking into OME but after reading this and lookin at the bluepac gear price is a big difference. How do they compare with OME? Price isn't really an issue but if I can spend a few hundred dollars less and get somethin just as good that's more money into my bullbar fund haha

I call BS.

Kings make Kings springs. Lovells make Lovells. Carrols make EFS, OME make OME.

My guess is that the chinese make Blupac.

[ridzilla]

I have a 2'' EFS spring lift coupled with Rancho 6000 shockies, hasn't sagged and is a good daily but still flexes up well

[juzzys]

I think I agree with fat zook on this.. But I'm yet to hear a proper disaster story from a blupac buyer..

[Sleepy Samoan]

They are Blue Max redbadged for export to the pacific islands (Samoa, Fiji and Tonga) and are aus made. So far no issues fixed my jimny lean and come with a three year warranty. Im not trying to sell them but just letting you know they are not bad for the price.

[Blkfxx]

I've got a blupac kit in my drover, Unsure of how old it is as that's how I bought it, But it already has a lean.

[Sleepy Samoan]

You have to speak to Blue Pac to get the right kit for your car. Ive been advised people dont buy the right kit for their vehicle which may have happended to your Drover. But guess we will never know.

All I can say is what is based off my exp. I got the 40mm lift kit with 15mm spacers

and made sure i got the SUZUKI JIMNY kit

[Daves4wd]

My mate had blupac leafs and shocks in his started to sag after 6 months hated the shocks as the oil and gave it a rough ride and bought gas shocks and came good still wasent happy with the ride though and I've heard blupac springs snap and take alot out when they do my addvice spend the extra couple hundred and get a quality kit I've heard alot of good with efs and Lovels

Not even a couple hundred extra, my OME and gabriel setup was only like $150 more. Only thing is i used my old U bolts.

[primejo07]

I've got a Blupac 2" kit and in my opinion, you cant really go wrong. I mean, its $500 and you get everything you need. Even if they do only last you a few years, its still a cheap alternative untill you can save up some cash and get some more expensive suspension to break

[Sleepy Samoan]

agreed primejo07... if defs had worse things... and for the money its pretty reasonable

[Daves4wd]

But if you saves up say another few weeks you can get yourself self at kit that will last 5 years or more instead spending $500 and then 2 years down the track spend another large amount of money just dosent make a whole lot of sence to me
