Hello,

I have just bought a 1994 SJ70 Sierra. The suspension has sagged and I have been on the search for a lift kit I found this kit on OnlineAutoParts https://www.onlineautoparts.com.au/products/ZPN-02499 seems like a good price for a complete kit. Just wondering if anyone has fitted it and how they went with it? I have heard of EFS springs but don't really know anything about Ultima shocks. Sorry if this is the wrong thread I am new to this forum stuff.

Thanks, Kev.

Just a generic cheap lift kit. You'll find it rides harshly and the shocks are of average quality. EFS have quite a good reputation amongst people who don't like Old Man Emu. I do like Old Man Emu and they're the only springs I'd recommend.

What's the problem with the suspension? If it's sagged (and that's not actually common at all) why is that causing an issue? Stock sierra front springs are designed to be flat, and you should have around 1.5" between the axle and the bumpstop.

I have that lift kit in my Sierra, it ride rough even after I removed a leaf all round, I could still probably remove another as even loaded up it hardly sits down. But other that that I've had no problems with it.
Cheers Jack

Did you end up getting this kit? I would be interested in how you go with it as I will be looking at doing a similar kit to mine.

Cheers, Daniel.

Yeah, I did, components seem well made for the price. It is good enough to make the old girl not look so sad anymore. I just got an email to say that www.onlineautoparts.com.au is running a 20% off Black Friday sale so I am kicking myself that I bought it before then but hopefully you can take advantage of that.
