So can any one point or give me some info to help m out

Cheers

Lowrange in the US.

Or you can try 4wdusa in Perth 0893703400 the bloke that runs the shop is a dickhead but

locked up 4x4 from WA sourced my rear calmini axles for me... but i'd deal direct with one of shops from the USA. It's a good time to buy with the dollar so good. Don't deal with 4wdusa, i've had bad experiences with them first hand...

Bloke is a monkey

Lowrangeoffroad is THE cheapest, even when we were at like 87c to the $USD, now that we're around 99c they're straight up kickin' everyones asses.
And i'm including shipping too

Even their Aussie dealer, Locktup4x4 is easily 50% more expensive on basically everything.

Snakeracing does Calmini IIRC, but they're about as ripoff as Locktup4x4 are.

Another one to try might be Rockyroadoutfitters, they're the smartest guys in the world for a Sierra.. But they seem to be heavy on the shipping costs

Just remember, locktup4x4, $WDUSA and all the rest pay the same exchange rate we do, then chuck their own profit on top...

plus they have to pay import duty that we generally don't

Crap!!

3" springs won't flex very well and Z-link steering is the worst way to correct geometry.

So thats a no no then ey lol so what susp set up do yous think i should get ?? keeep in mind i want a 3" plus susp set

Any 3" plus setup will be shit. It will be stiff as fuck and no flex at all...

Why do you wanna go so tall? Unless you like falling over a lot...

3" isnt that tall 5" is tall

I want a 3" susp 2" body, 31s with 1.5" wheel spacers, and if it a 3 " is stiff i just take a leaf out and that should fix it, no ?? i like going through the mud lil bit of bush bashing but more mud yeah

What good 2" susp is there ??

[tanshi]

you dont need more than 2" spring and 2" body for 31s,

i have less than that and run 33s off road.

some people love OME, i personally would rather have EFS

Does EFS have 2" leafs cause im getting pretty much over chasing 3" kits and if i do the 2 susp and 2 body whats 25mm right lol

But what would i use for the shocks ?? do EFS have long traveling shocks for the sierra or can i mix and match and use the rancho 9000, i will be getting drop shackels so i want as much flex i can get out of it

I can't believe I am sugesting this but if you absolutely NEED 5" of lift, you would be better off doing SPOA on your standard flat springs. With a few tweeks it will flex better than the 3" springs, and you will get 4 or 5" of lift. Its hard to get this mod right, and in most states its not legal.

[Built4thrashing]

What you need is 2in lefted rear springs in the back with an extended shackle.

In the front you need to use you old rears and some extended shackles. re.drill your front fixed spring mount back 25mm and your diff will end up in the same spot. this will give you the 3 inch lift you want but it wont flex any better untill you lift/move your top shock mounts and run longer shocks.

If you take leaves out of your 3" springs you'll lose lift and end up with 2" anyway...

You're far better off getting a good set of 2" springs...

[IN2DEP]

yeah well i think ill just do that lol, cause i really want to lift her in the next few weeks

But if anthing over 2" lift is no good why in the usa they sell

3
4
5
7-8 Inch lifts ?? If they where all bad for the zook they wouldnt sell them

[shep]

calmini springs, the older they get the better they work. does drive a bit like a boat but.

Or maybe so they can throw 35s/37s under it, and go almost anywhere?
Rockyroad's rancho rockcrawler kit is quite amazing tbh.

I understand when the rig is higher the more likely it is to tip,

But when you go higher its just common sence to get wider tyres or wheel spacers, true ??

but i would of throught that the biger the cruve in the spring it would have more play hence more flex ??

[Ben_Sierra]

The higher springs are usually stiffer...

There is a reason no one does 3" springs for a zook. Anyone that does should include a kidney belt as the ride is that bad. You could achieve a similar result removing the springs and replacing them with I-beams.

Why would that be ?? To hold the hight of the spring ?? thats the only reason i can think of but it sound pretty right tho

Any whoz i think ill go for the 2" EFS springs with the rancho 9000 shocks i think that would be a sweet set up

Does any body know the price on the 2" springs ?? ive got a price on the shocks and im looking at just under $1000 ($969) but thats inc...... rancho steer staberlizer

You tell Rockyroad that about their Rancho kit, see what kinda response you get.
