Hi Guys, I need to get some advice on relacing my original 1994 suspension. I am using the zook as my daily driver, but want to go exploring on weekends and undertake some longer bush trips in the near future. I don't need an extreme set up but an improvement over stock is essential. I have noted the ebay kits and found out most are made in china, india and malasia. What are they really like? Rang some of the local 4wd companies( TJM ARB etc.) and was told theirs are the best. What I want is about 2" lift, reduced body roll and reasonable articulation for a general purpose zook. I plan to run around 235/75 /15" tyres. From your experience who/ what is a good compromise? I intend to keep the zook for an extended period so am prepared to spend good coin for the right parts. I figure it is smarter to ask than to try to reinvent the wheel!I don't need extreme, and tended to get lost in the tech articles. I have access to mig welders, lathe, mills etc so some fabrication is not out of the question. So auszookers, what do you recommend? Thanks Don

Use a bolt in option. There's no reason to mix and match, fabricate mounts, experiment with everything, run commodore shocks because they're really cheap and long etc in your application. It's not worth the hassle. The problem now is you're going to get a list of every brand available and why each person thinks their chosen brand is great. I recommend OME, but stand by for all the other recommendations and all the my mate ran King and they were too stiff OME sagged etc stories now. Steve. |
