yes yes its been covered before but not the way i need it covered

any ways i want to lift the sierra was going to go body lift but
the price of body lift and spring isent that much difrence

so i see this ebay lift kits.
im not into mud bashing and all that i just want the car to look good and get me to my hunting spots.

and maybe a littel bit of mud 4x4 action

so wich one wouled be the better lift for my every day sierra !

and again are they any good for the price
ps:they got 3 year warrenty so they cant be that bad right ?

thanks every one i know i will get the right answears

[ZookFisher]

i purchased the second one... though i got mine from onlineautoparts.com.au which he gave me EMU leafs and ultima shocks
whcih was better than that first one.....
i thought anyways
plus all the bushes and bolts etc. (full kit)

[bazook]

if you did get them i reckon you may need to take some leafs out thats if they dont sag once you put them in (maybe)

[ZookFisher]

agreed i took 3 out of front and 2 out of back... or something like that. dont know why they put so many leafs in them...
esspecially when the cars weight only 900kg

[salih]

yeah i was leaning more to the second one because it is cheaper

but im thinking i dont want to mod any thing on it because first of all dont know 2 much, second cbf

so shouled i just buy the second one guys ?
i got a guy from auszookers he is going to help me put it in

remember im on a tight buget so yeah

[ZookFisher]

not really mod'ing taking some leafs out....
its going to be very stiff and wont flex much if you don't...
but in the end its up to you. taking out leafs isn't hard at all.

[salih]

ok then so i take out
3 out of the front leafs
and 2 out of the back ?

so you guys do this for a better ride and better flex ?

[ZookFisher]

yep thats what i did anyways.
the guy thats helping you put them in should know what to do.
just a matter of unbolting the middle pin and taking leafs off.
betetr ride and more flex.

[salih]

cool thanks alot for that mate

so you pritty much have the same thing in going to buy ?
so are you happy with it i mean like i said its my daily aswell
and mine are saged like shit so it will proberly give me a bit more then 2 inch lift yeah ?

[ZookFisher]

yeah i have teh same thing.
mine is a daily driver as well.
though i take it 4wding too.
i'm running 30's
so yeah gives you heaps of lift.
mine sounds like the exact same as yours when i first got it.
shocks and srings were F#$ked
leafs pretty much were straight no bend in them
and shocks were rooted.
so yeah its the way to go for a cheap lift.

[salih]

cool as bro youve helped me out heps

yeah i got 2 inch shakels on mine so with the lift and shakels and a bit of lovin from the hammer hope fully 31 a/t fit
if not maybe 1 inch body lift aswell we will see

[ZookFisher]

yeah you should be right shackles in front and 31's fitting, though you might get some rubbing. and might need to do abit of chopping (i have to do some) usually rubs on the bumper bracket, just cut the bottom off abit, or grind.

Zookfisher - Do you mean the 31s should fit just with extended shackles in the front and on the stock suspension?

[ZookFisher]

no i didnt mean that...
though it might fit but you could do zero 4wding.
would scrap heaps.

i meant 2inch lift and shackles.

hey mate i tryed my 31s on stock suspension and 2inch shackels
and they did fit but i saw straight away if i did any 4x4ing/ flexing or maybe even turning it wouled scrape like no tomorow...

[ZookFisher]

yeah no doubt.
you really need atlaest 2 inch lift, plus cutting out to fit them.
if they still scrub after that, then i'd go some bodylift
i am only running 30's

[salih]

yeah tru like i said if lift and shackels arent doing it i might go 1 inch body lift and bash the guards in a bit or like you sayed grind some stuff out of the way

[ZookFisher]

yeah well basically with my sierra i just cut the front bumper bracket abit and bashed all my sills inside the gaurd in.
and thats all i had to do, i'm not even running shackles
to fit the 30's anyhow....
you might get away with the same get up.

[salih]

cool il make shure i take pics so when i finally one day start a build up thread it will be in there.
thanks again for the advice mate

[ZookFisher]

yeah no worries dude
