Happy Birthday by the way.
noff how are you planning to drive your rig???
Second are you trying to do the lift within a certain dollar amount?
I looked back through some of your posts and I'm not sure this ever got asked.
how and where you are going drive your suzuki makes a huge difference.
I drive mine on trails mainly I want a soft flexible ride, hence I went with a Spring over conversion.
Cost of my Spring over
Started with a Rocky Road 2" Shackle lift $100 got me 1 inch of lift
Got Sky's SPOA kit that I listed in my other post cost $380 another 4 inches of lift
lower front shock tabs $14 dollars from local off road shot
Four rancho 5000 shocks $160
cost of lift $654
Course then come bigger tires and then lockers axle upgrades, and gearing changes.
It's been the most expensive $500 dollar purchase I've ever made.
If all I wanted was a lift to make it look beefy and mainly have it just be a daily driver Spring Under is the way to go.
As far as that kit is concerned I'm not too sure they took pictures of the correct parts the springs look too flat and they have four front style shocks in the picture.
4wd picture 4 inch lift
calmini picture 3 inch lift
This is just an assumption below. (Yes I know makes an Ass out of me and Umption)
if you are looking at spending $1000 dollars and keeping it Spring Under you could get as much lift as you wanted buy picking up a YJ Spring kit from one of the vendors listed on this site rocky road or trailtough and then getting some lifted yj Springs from somewhere like quadratec.com pick up an over the Top steering fix and there ya go spring under huge lift just need shocks and brake lines and spacers or extended slip yoke.
Or you could buy this kit from TrailTough.com for a few dollars more and not make it spring over

This is the ULTIMATE kit for ride quality and HUGE articulation yet practical for trouble-free every day use. Prvides 6.5" of lift. Perfect for 33" tires.
tem #YJS0-300 Price $1258.00 --> lift kit cost.
Core charges $35.00
Set of YJ Springs You provide should be $100 for 4 stock ones from any off road shop that sells jeep lifts.
Only things that you would have to weld on that I see are the Lower shock mounts. and front uppers if you wanted to use them.
Piece Meal Spring under lift that I put together really quickly from websites advertised on this site.
4 3 inch lifted Springs $400 + Calmini
2 Drive line Spacers $60 Trail Tough or Calmini or sky-manufaturing
4 extended brake lines $100 + Trail Tough
1 Over the Top Steering fix (personal preference only a little more than drop pitman)
Kit W Drag Link-$185 Sky-Manufacturing
4 shocks $100 to what ever you want to spend (based on $22 monroe matics from schucks)
Cost to this point $845
2 inch shackes for one more inch of lift $100
for a total of $945
Then after you go to larger tires have to regear your rig to hangle them
5 31x11.50 ltb swampers $550 4 wheel parts (because they look cool)
4.1:1 transfer case Calmini $450
Then you want power steering because it wears you out to turn the steering wheel
mounting kit calmini $200
punp and everything with it from a junk yard or someone on this board $200 +
After as much research as I have done I have come to the conclusion that there is not a cheap lift above 2 inches.(that you can
buy now home fabrication is different)
OK ENOUGH RANTING I'M OFF TO BED HOPE THIS HELPS AND IF IT DOESN'T SORRY
would really like to see the answers to the questions at the begining of the post.
