Keep an eye out for someone selling a set of lifted springs then just sort out some shocks for it. I picked up a full set of 2" lifted springs, standard shackles, shocks and bushes for about $200. They don't come up very often but they do appear from time to time.

Carry springs are actually shorter than rear's :wink: However they do go well in the front of a zook
