Hey i am looking for a lift kit for my 95 geo tracker 2 door, looking for something that can fit 29-31 inch tires. Any ideas? Thanks!
-
I have been looking at the 951 Front Coil Springs from old man emu, and the 952's for the rear along with some 1.5 coil spacers plus the shocks from low range. Any suggestions?
-
OME are nice and soft. If your looking for a quick lift for 30" tires it is hard to pass up a set of spacers from Jeff along with a strut mount spacer.
-
you should be able to fit a 29 on a stock tracker....I've got a set of 30" BFG mud and have lent them out to my bro a few times....no lift. He had to trim the plastic bumper trim on the bottom but other than that it's all good.

EMU is Over priced and a waste of money.
Just do what 90% of the rest of us do.

You can run 31's easy with this and stay well under $200,

Your also in Canada.

Okay sounds good thank you all for your help. The kit i really thinking about getting is the 2inch suspension lift from mud child. How can i make this purchase? Do you ship to the US?

zuks offroad sells mudchild's kit (S&R) mudchild doesnt ship direct to the states. ZOR sells them in the states for him.
-
Alrighy i will take a look into those, should i get the new shocks with it?
-
What actual tire size should i get like 30/9.50 or Metric like 245/75?
-
And could i run 30's on stock rims?
-
I also make the 2" lift kit. I ship directly to the US, as I live here too. :laugh: Mudchild makes a good product as well.
-
Okay cool do you have a link so that i can check it out? ???

Sky's been around longer and makes better parts. Sky's has a sponsorship banner on this site.
Personally, I would never run a billet alum or metal spacer. metal on metal= random grinding noises offroad.
-
Yea i could guess you are right but that is 1.5" coil spacer and i dont want to run a body lift! :-\

I think you should at least see mt stuff before commenting. The reason I designed this kit is because NONE of the spacer lifts available were up to my standard. I've said it before and will again how many vehicles to you see rolling off the production line with plastic suspension components? You do on the other had see aluminum parts. BTW... the spring spacers are machined to accept the stock rubber spring isolator

How does your suspension work in your truck? Do the springs have rubber at both ends. I'm sure it doesn't. How bad does it make "random grinding noises" off road?
I have the firs kit I built in my wife's sidekick. It has more that 20 000K on it since I built and installed it, and I can assure you it don't have any "grinding noises"
Just cause someone advertises on the site doesn't mean they make a better product!
BTW.. Low range off road also carry my lift and they advertise on this site
-
I have the exact same question but I have a 1999 tracker. Is there a out there the same as this for 1999 and up? I plan to put on 30x 9.5 tires.
thanks in advance for the help
-
I am a beginner at lifts and everything so when i get the spacers how hard is it to install? And also i was going to get it from ZOR i think im gonna get new shocks with it, does the kit include struts and shocks?

The "Size" '' are all the same, The 1/2 inch is made up with shock strut spacers. Its funny how you say "I don't want to run a BL, 90% of people with trackers and kicks run BL's. There are not many "lift" options out there for IFS zuk's, Unless you want to but the Calmini 3" susp. But even than the guys that buy the Calmini 3" susp end up paying for the Calmini 3" BL.
It's not "un common" to run a BL on IFS zuk's, They are cheap and give you clearance. Search threw the "members rides" picture thread, You will see what i am talking about.
If you are planning on buying this http://www.zuksoffroad.net/upskirt.htm , Think again, Like i said before, Its all the same stuff, But that guy is WAY OVER PRICED. Coil spacers and strut spacers are like $130 max.
Do what you want.

My lift consisting of: 2-1.5" coil and 2-1.5" strut spacers for the front and 2-2" coil spacers for the rear is $135 to the US or $145 to Canada. If you want the rear diff spacer with it it is $30 more. All you need are longer rear shocks. Let me know if you are interested.

Not to sure when the last time you steped foot into a machine shop... or if you ever have! But check the cost to get the billet aluminum and the find out how much to turn them out on a CNC leathe. You will see the kit is NOT overpriced, never mind all the steel parts are tig welded and powder coated. These are not cheeply made kits. So that is Mearly your opinion and you know what they say about those...
-
Ya well i know that it is not uncommon to run BL but i simply dont want to. I MIGHT run a 1" BL, but BL's make it really top heavy and that i just not what i want to do, also the kit is not overpriced those parts look like high qualiity parts and i know not only the material is expesive but the skill and labor put into them makes weather the part is of good quality or not.
-
I have to stick up for Mudchild here. He is right, the cost of making an all metal lift is not cheap. His prices are not that high judging from the work and material that goes into them. This is the EXACT reason mine are made from plastic. I have a shop with all the needed CNC tooling and materials but the cost is just too high. My main area of expertise is plastics and although the cost is still not free or even cheap, it is much cheaper than an all metal lift.
I do give you props on a nice looking and I'm sure good performing lift. It takes some hard work to make these things, as you know.

No to sure what you problem is, but clearly you have NOTHING IMPORTANT to add to this thread.

Well lets get back to the topic, Thanks for the advice guys!

Here is a link to my old tracker build up. It might help you decide what route you want to go.

Me personally...i hate body lifts.
I like my plastic bumpers, i'm just not a exposed metal and tube bumper kind of guy. So to me a body lift is cheap alright, you get what you pay for.
100's of tutorials and how-to's over the years on here and not one that shows you how to make aftermarket bumper mounts after doing a budget body lift. And i refuse to pay for the Calmini kit just to get those mounts. I'm in the same opinion as the OP of this thread. For just a little lift get spacers or springs.
Avoid body lifts, they don't technically lift your truck at all. since the frame is in the exact same place as it is when stock, you gain no real ground clearance. Even then if you then add a 2 inch suspension lift your frame is still only lifted 2 inches. A body lift is a waste of time unless you're going to build a huge trail killer rig.

If the body lift allows you to run 31's rather than 29's isn't that equivalent to a 1 inch lift?
