Does anyone know anything about Blupac? I'm thinking about getting this kit. Suzuki-Sierra-2-Raised-Suspension-Major-Lift-Kit is it any good?

I bought one of these kit's for my LJ, the quality seems fine and the springs flex quite well considering the weight of my LJ.

I've seen a few other people on az have bought this kit and I'm yet to hear anything negative about it. I know some people complain about sagging springs but that always happens when leafs are removed. My efs springs on my sierra were flat after 6 months with only 2 leafs removed.

This is a good kit if you don't want to spend a whole heap of money and want a quick bolt in lift. If you want better flex and ride comfort offroad you should look into doing a RUF.

So review on this kit? Seems cheap and quick for what I'm after! 500 for a 2" lifted springs and shocks with 100,000km warranty? Thoughts??

You basically get what you paid for. It does the job, but dont expect too much in the way of quality. A few guys run them and think they are fine.

Exactly. But try to get different shocks then the ultima brand they are crap and wear out quick .I would do more research though iv used a simular lift and yer it works but not the best out there but it depends what ur after.

I asked the same question not too long ago.

After some research and many helpful opinions i decided to get EFS springs.
Onlineautoparts do EFS 2" lift (comfort option) for 550 if i remember correctly

This kit includes everything u need EXCLUDING SHOCKS.
I went this path because i had heard good things about the Gabriel (Commy/Hiace) shocks.

shocks are $50 each which is pretty cheap.
Make sure u check the shocks before you buy them, one of the ones i bought was in the wrong box (someone had done a switcharoo)

I kept it as 4 leaves front and back. piss the load assist crap off, its just another place to get snagged and collect mud nd crap.

This combo is excellent. much smoother ride, flexes great :D because EFS are slightly longer then other brands, and handles pretty good on the road

Go the supercheap shocks and OME springs. Almost the same cost and they are great imo.

x2, cost me $660 a yr ago for 4 rear springs(ruf) ubolts, and commo/hiace shocks. of course id be cheaper to get 2 front 2 rear.
just bought 2 front two rear ome springs a month ago for just a touch under $400, shocks can be bought for $30 on a sale at supershit.

EFS springs seem to be the way to go strong and flexy enough:)

my parents bought me a blupac kit for my sierra for my birthday last year as a suprise. i was super excited at the time but now wish i went and got efs or ome springs and commo/hiace shocks. my springs have sagged so much that i have had to put a body lift in to continue clearing my tires :/ spend the extra $100 or so and do it right the first time.

Yes, because they removed load-bearing leafs to soften the ride :roll:

FYI your scrubbing issues are related to your tire size, bump-stop height or spring center-bolt placement, not the static height or sagging of your springs

That is true, you spent top dollar on good quality springs and they sagged flat in six months with only 1 or 2 offroad trips, and then the supplier brushed you off when you complained, not a good advertisment is it. I wonder how you would have gone with some cheaper ones.

should have been more clear, I wasn't talking about scrubbing under compression. Just general driving around corners at full lock my tires would rub on the guards, the lift fixed this but it came back after 6 months. i have now done a guard chop.
