Woh hold up there is a locker that will apparently fit yer a jimmy is different yer but the part number for the front is apparently the same as a 98 jimmy ,I saw it on Herr like 2 years ago.if worst comes to worst deric at suzi sport sells A LSD center for like $400 ish. And king springs ,if u look on there site u can find out what coils u want they do make thicker springs for the Coily apparently ultima do the only extended shock so I would boy the front extended shocks,rear better quality shocks and the thicker coils go nice on the bumps off road those arms are week as plastic and jimmy arms do fit don't listen to any one says otherwise,u need them in pairs though . I have spare jimmy front arms if u ever need them .pm if ya do LOL

Steaming pile of shit in my opinion, stay way clear of them.

Ring suzi sport at lawnton mate talk to Derek I had a Coily chassis so I looked a lot.all so I'm not sure if jimmy arms would be stronger they do have more clearence around the bushs were they mount wich looks like the might last longer but I don't know if they would be stronger

Bushes are identical. Only point of 'upgrading' would be to have newer oe rubber bushes fitted in the arms if your coily ones are split.

Nothing to extend as such. Remove the inner boot from the gearstick, loosen off the fuel filler hose. You also have to do 'something' with the brake line which is mounted on the front passenger side inner guard. A brake shop extended my steel lines so they were neater than simply being bent and pulled through the hole. This is only a coily problem - not a problem on other Sierras.

Im currently looking for some sort of kit to or a way to lift it/ give it more articulation. Whats your thought? Besides get a leaf sprung zook. Thanks Zackary56 wrote: Hmm, where do you reckon i could get my hands on some decent/ strong arms? Why. They aren't that weak that you'll break one all the time... You'll break half a dozen CVs before bending a control arm to the point it is a problem. The trick is not to bounce and smash the arms onto rocks. If you are worried then just get a spare and pack it in the car. They are easily replaced on the side of a track. The arms are also much stronger then their diff and chassis mounts. At least the diff mounts should be beefed up before the arms - especially the rear ones if you plan to lift it and wheel it hard!

Even patrol radius arms bend and snap all the time if they're punished. If you wheel hard bring a spare. If not have a spare at home.
Stress less and go wheeling.
