Title: RRO 5" for Zuk ?
Post by: Zippy on June 16, 2004, 12:18:41 AM

I just brought home my first Zuk the other day ( http://www.zukiworld.com/cgi/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=suzuki_talk;action=display;num=1087164785 ).  I am starting to think about what I will be doing on this buildup over the winter and was wondering about the lift.  I was thinking about piecing a SOA together but got looking at this kit from Calmini....... http://www.puresuzuki.com/3_5_suspension.htm .  I want to fit 31x10.5 and maybe 32s down the road.  It will be used as a summer runner (ice cream runs with the dogs)  and a mild offroad rig ( trip to Paragon 2 or 3 times a year).  Would the 3.5" above be a good lift for me to look at or are there any other suggestions?



Thanks

I'd go SPOA with a rear-up-front kit before any lift spring. Will ride and flex much better. YJ's are the best leaf available but will be higher in cost than reusing your springs.

After some more time reading about that kit I see that it is not a SOA setup.  I am now looking toward the RRO 5" SOA weld on kit.  Any feedback on the quality of this kit?  If I am reading their site correctly it is a full kit minus the shocks correct?  Does it include the perches, brake lines, zlink, shock mounts, dshaft spacers....whatever else I may be missing?

Looks like you're right. Just need to get shocks. Doetch Tech's work really well on Zuks.
