Title: Where to get Old Man Emu struts and coils for 04 Tracker?
Post by: Iautox on November 02, 2007, 02:25:09 PM: Hi All,

I've got an 04 4dr Chevy Tracker that I've done the Rocky Road 2" body lift on and their rock sliders. I had a front and trans skid plates fabricated from diamond plate aluminum and put 235/75/15 on it. I'd like a little more lift and articulation so I can put on some 235/75/16s. The Old Man Emu coils, struts and shocks look like a good choice rather than just spacers and extenders.

Rocky Road was not good to deal with so I'd much rather give my business to someone else, but I can not find any one else selling this kit - just jeep stuff or older Suzuki stuff.

I'm hoping you guys can provide me with some vendors.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

It's been a few days and no reply. Also someone here posted in another thread that Strictly Hawk carried the full OME line, but they don't respond. I guess I'm stuck with going back to Roady Road with their terrible service. I guess I should have known that parts and retailers would be limited for Suzuki in comparison to Jeeps, but I didn't think it would be this tough. I guess even though I like the Tracker a lot better than a Jeep, at least as a dual purpose daily driver, I'll have to go with a Jeep for the better aftermarket selection next time.

Post by: Iautox on November 08, 2007, 08:47:27 PM: Thanks willhl and blacktrack99. I sent emails off to both ARB Australia and Trail Tough. Hopefully one of them will get back to me. I'll post the results here for others is I'm successful finding a company other than Rocky Road you sells OME for newer Suzuki/Trackers.

Post by: Iautox on November 08, 2007, 09:47:54 PM: Just FYI. ARB USA responded and apologized for being so slow. Apparently they were at a trade show. They referred me to Strictly Hawk (maybe they were at the trade show too!) and Petroworks. I sent an email to Petroworks so hopefully I'll be able to order some stuff soon.

also, i dont like doing it either but, calling sometimes works better/faster than email.

got any pics of your tracker?
