Just wondering which might be the better option.

I currently have a 40mm Tough Dog setup on my 09 Sierra (sounds better than Jimny), but I am going up to 80mm and was wondering which setup is actually better.

I cannot fault Tough Dog, but I hear nothing but good things from Old Man Emu.

Anything with some experience?

I keep putting off buying extended diff breathers - can anyone recommend someone that I can purchase a kit from? I know they can be made, but I would rather fork out the $$$ for a professional job.

Thanks!

OME are generally better quality, but TD seem OK for the price...

I think that pretty much sums up Suzuki's reasoning of Badge engineering the Jimny as a Jimny Sierra :lol:

Whats in a name :?:

ome only do a 40 mm lift for the jimny.
so its either new toughdog springs or spacers on the springs you have now.
ul also need longer shocks and preferably adjustable panhard rods.

Pirahna definitely do a kit - is it model specific though or just the one that I see on their website?

Thanks guys - I have seen OME 80mm lifts on a few "older" Jimnys, but not sure about 09 model...
