i dont think anyone makes 4inch springs. They would have a hell of an arc in them and be shit.

I have a pair of Superior Engineering drop shackles here.
They were $599 a pair new.
I'll take $350 for them.

If he wants lift, you aren't gonna find 2" lifted Mazda Wagon springs..
Hilux fronts are prettymuch the easiest option
Yes they are 60mm wide, and it's not that much messing around to make them fit.
Stiff? Not really.. I ordered the petrol engined light duty 2" lifted.. Theyll be fairly soft especially when i take a spring out

Read the post before you reply mate, he wanted 4" springs.. So he ain't gonna settle for Mazda Wagon ones.
2" Lux Fronts are roughly equivilent to a 4" lift in the rear.. Whereas the Mazda would be lucky to match a 2" lifted spring
Just sayin' is all.
Doesn't matter what's better or what you think.. If he wants lift, then he can have it.. And i'm offering relevent advice

Well I fitted brand new 2" lifted YN65 lux fronts to the rear of my ute, and needed 3" extended shackles to get them anywhere near the height of my sagged RUF on standard shackles at the front end.
So they probably sit lower than 2" lifted zook springs.
And they are 60mm wide, and require moving the spring or shackle hangers, and they are super stiff with only 3 leaves remaining.
My advice would be to go 2" spring and if you need more height look into a Body Lift

if its lift he is after then running a body lift and longer springs would be more practical...
Body lifts dont sag... springs do... and at least if he is running the long flatter springs he will have flex and articulation... A 4" spring in a suzuki would be a fucking joke... waste of time...

What do you need all this lift for? what size tires are you trying to clear?

4" cab lift
Why not throw in some SPOA for good measure?? What could you possibly need that much lift for?

As you can see by the image Iv got 6" bushwacker flares and ihave chopped out the guards and they fit, I just need more articulation and less scrbbihge, 33"s full lol topped out and bottomed out don't touch a thing so 2" extra in the springs with 35" shouldn't be a problem

extra 2 inch of lift isnt going to help with articulation though.

True. And getting 2" springs and having them reset to 4" is not going to work. You would need a massively longer top leaf.
I just can't understand why you need 4" cab lift + 4" suspension lift + 1" shackle lift to clear tiny 35's, AFTER you have cut the guards
You're doing it wrong.
