hey guys im 17 jus got my zook for chrisi is a 89 sierra soft top and my suspension is sagging backwards and occasionaly the body bounces of the wheels
i ordered a 2 inch ironman lift kit as it was cheap and i am in need of better job
took a couple o weeks and i got tired of the condition of my ride so my dad called them up apparently they hadent even sent them so they apolagised and gave me an upgrade to dobinsons

G'day Scott, and welcome to Auszookers !
Its always good to see another WA Zooker here !
I see you are just down the road from me, well sort off, i am in Mandurah :wink:

Is that Ironman suspension kit the one of ebay, being sold by a Perth Business ?
I am seriously looking at the 35mm Ironman lift kit they have for $840 !
Will look at getting that after my mechanical faults on my 89 Vitara are fixed first...

If you need any mechanical repairs or parts, Suzistore in Midland is the best place to go, they only do Suzuki's ! :wink: :lol:

I run Dobinsons, and they are OK, but a bit stiff. You might want to remove a leaf before installing them...

how ya doing mate. your tyres will still scrub with a lift, the only way to stop
scrubbing is to fit bump stop spacers.

mate I have a dobinson lift kit in one of my suzuki's and it is the absolute worst suspension ever. we have taken them back to dobinsons twice and they have swapped springs, cut springs down and just generally pissed around quite a bit and only now it is comfortable to drive. It still doesn't flex and the ride isn't anywhere as good as mine (OME springs, gabriel shocks) but it is bearable.

yep, however you will still have crap length shockes so ya may as well fit bump
stop spacers and longer shocks so ya can get a bit of droop.
