Hey guys im making my order over at rocky road i ordered the 1 1/8 coil spacers and the lock rite rear locker. Im thinking of gettin the 2" body lift just wondering how this kit is. Is it any good or junk. My truck is a 92 with a bit of rust.
-
damn near anything u buy from rocky road will not be crap...same for calmini..some people just like different kits
like the calmini 3" bl has u doing a bit of welding...the 2" i dont think u do
if it were me id do the 3+3 calmini kit..which is what im doing since my bl is a few days from my front door =)
-
I just need to raise it a bit im going to run BFG 31 x 10.5 i think a 2" body lift and 2" sus will be ok?
-
as long as you aren't looking for articulation. coil spacers sure dont offer much in terms of an improved suspension system. more like a glorified body lift
-
If you go to this site http://www.k9rdj.co.uk/ and look in Other Vitaras under Duane Irwin there is some pics of how well mine flexed when I had only 2" coil spacers and stock springs.
-
I did the 2" RRO bodylift. I like it and it was pretty easy to install, no welding.

That looks awsoem duane, where did you get your spring spacers from? did u liek it with the body lift and spring spacers? because i am gonna get a body lift and i want to get soem 2" spring spacers as well.
-
O yea, Duane do you have any pics of the truck not flexed or anything? just it sittign in you driveway or soemthing? i just wanna see how high it looks.

straight-forward for you if you're handy, or easier for your mechanic if you're lazy - a good buildup on the iZook website.
photos of my spacers fitted on the K9RDG website previously referred to, under the "other Vitara's - Chris Elliot" link
a simple modification to l/hand front brake line is required, which any mechanic can handle.
definately get the shifters extended - again a mechanic can remove them and a fabricator can extend them - see previous posts - don't think you can just alter the appatures!! it's never going to be satisfactory - once they are extended the car feels and drives the same
-
why not a calmini 3in? their is a little welding and what not but you get an extra inch of clearence.

The 2" in bl lift will work with out extending the shifters. Here in Japan they sell shifter extentions that you can just screw on to your normal shifter to make it longer. I have driven with out the extention and have had no problem.

Hey Spence
I loved the way it sat with the spacers and body lift, only problem was that it made me want more. ::) The spacers are from a heep and I got them off a guy on bc4x4. I have a couple pics around here somewhere but I'm too puter illiterate to post so I'll send them to you when I find them.
-

-
Sorry man, I'm using them in my current configuration but I'll keep my ears open for you. I live on YP about a block before cedar. stop in and say hi if my trucks in the driveway
-

How is it possible to add articulation without longer coils, shocks, struts, or longer control arms? ???
-
i have a calmini 3" body lift the only extension i did to the steering shaft is add some washers. i think it was four. i also have the 1 1/8 coil spacers on the front springs. here is a link to check out some pics. i run 31 " swamper ltb's
