I noticed that BDS has updated their installation instructions to include an application for the 4dr trackkicks.  The catalog hasn't been updated yet, but if you want a 2" lift without coild spacers this might be a good option

Boondox has some of those BDS springs in their "Garage Sale". Here is the link.

SWEET!!! I hadn't seen the garage sale section before.  So is Boondox going to offer any kind of strut spacer/extension or just the OME struts.  The BDS Strut extensions seem really slick, and don't screw with the strut brace like a spacer that lowers the mounting surface.

I just ordered a set  of those extensions at my local BDS dealer for my Digger lift.  Now all I need is a set of towncar shocks and a successful triple-bypass surgery!    Wish me luck!

I would think so. I will ask about it on Monday.

So would those strut extensions work well with an existing OME springs/struts lift? I could certainly use the two extra inches of drop it gives, but would it mees too much with my CVs since I already have OME struts and springs up front?

Thanks, jeff

How much did they cost from BDS? I don't see them separately.

Also, anybody dare to compare the BDS springs with the OME springs?

You should be able to get them for $35-45 a set from your local BDS supplier.  the_maplebar and I both paid about that much.

Ask for part number FSE3.  If they say it doesn't exist have them call BDS and ask.  Also, FSE3 is a SET, you don't need to order two FSE3's...you'll get two sets in that case.

any one know of a dealer in toronto.....canada that is you know.

It would kill your CVs. The OME struts are already 1 1/2" longer. From the measurements that I've taken 2" is the max without lowering the front axle.

No, but I bet BDS does.

It says on Boondox that the spring would work on SWB, but would be firm... How firm. Like invest in a back surgery firm? I can drive a Super Pro car down the streat in a Aluminum seat and be a little sore, would this be that bad? Also they will work on a '92 right?

I think they said that because they had a customer who used them on the two door even though the spring rate is designed for a four door. He had a heavy bumper and winch in front and also HD rear bumper with heavy spare tire so it helped compensate for the added spring rate. I think they might not be bad on a generation II shorty but I would think it would ride like a brick on a 2 door Geo or 'Kick. If you have a '92 SWB I don't think I would use them. I think you would also get too much lift. I asked about them for my shorty and they said not a good idea.

I just came from Boondox. They have 20 sets of those strut extenders in stock. $45 a set.

I called http://www.boondoxmotorsports.com to get their BDS shocks.  Steve is a very nice guy, I also found out that they have a bunch of the BDS Strut Extensions on order that they will being stocking along with some other cool stuff in R&D that they aren't announcing yet.
