Hi i'm new to this forum and to the wide world of zuks specifically sidekicks beacause i recently picked up a red 96 4 door sidekick for free :) :) :) and i am looking for a lift kit and a body lift. were i will drive it the most is on highway but i want to take it offroading. i have looked at everything and cant decide which one or parts of multiple kits.
i need a new motor :( ??? :( ??? >:(

budget?

Coil spacers are a cheap way to lift it. The best lifts are full spring and arm kits but for 3" you're looking at a grand!!! I make coil spacers if you are interested. they work good, no one has had any problems with them. I've sold about 60 sets on ebay. Look under seller name: hoepkers. A body lift is also a cheap way to get bigger tires on but it does not help the suspension at all. Masterkit makes a pretty good one as is Calmini's. I also make 2" coil spacers if you want. Welcome to the forum, the guys on here truly know everything about Zuk's.

jeffs coil spacers are top notch...love em

i was thinking to get masterkit1's (also cause i live in canada cheap shipping) 3 inch body lift and there 2 inch lift because it comes with strut spacers as well and then when i need new shocks springs i would get a new set of old man emu struts and springs kit. 6.5/7 inch total lift :) :) :)
-
ya your spacers are nice and cheap they look good too do you make strut spacers
-
yea because I need some of those spacers i dont want to do the whole flip the strut mount thing. How much will those be running a pair?
-
Sorry guys I do not make strut spacers right now. I am going to, I need to change my struts and when I do I'll measure my spacers and make some.

if i get a 3 inch suspension lift will i have to get an axle spacer and front diff drop brackets. and if i get a 3 inch bodylift will the shifters be long enough. i need to know everything that there is on lifts before i buy. is the calmini lift good for street driving beacause it will be my daly wheels
-
Go with the spacers - they actually provide you with REAL lift - the body lift does not get you anymore frame-to-ground clearance. You'll need strut spacers (cheap) or do the front strut flip (free), and cheap ($20) crown vic shocks in the rear.

The Calmini 3" kit is designed for the weight of a winch and winch bumper on the front and for wheels with a greater offset. The 2" kit is more suited to a daily driver without the extra gear. The Calmini suspension kits come with all the parts. Spacers are a cheap way to get lift but a properly engineered suspension kit will give you better articulation as well.
The bodylift will need extended gearlevers.

thanx
-
also what lift is good for saving my cv's and alignment.
is ome 2.5 inch lift good
-
I'd stick to 2" or under if you're not fitting diff drop brackets. The OME lift is 1.4", the extra inch comes from additional spacers. Any lift will affect the alignment.
