Has anyone bought this "book" off ebay .  It says it can lift each corner for less than 20 bucks and is adjustable .  Parts are available at LOWES.

sounds like the "shower drain mod", literally a adjustable floor drain has been used by some before. (with no return posts) so I thought they might have went to the morgue.

I wouldn't go to a home improvement store looking for lift kits. spacer lifts are very cheap for these rigs I don't think its a good idea to ghetto fab plumbing parts on a auto.

shoot him a email and ask for a copy of the insurance policy he keeps for this recommended mod. let us know how it goes. ;)

oh boy....I hope I didn't give away the top secret.... :laugh:

I've always been a curious sort....  :laugh: but how do you make this claim?

---------->"Theres more:  You will have to do NO MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR VEHICLE.

It seems to me that if you raise the vehicle from 3/4" to 3" then you are modifing the vehicle.... I also did the math and you can't buy this kit for less than $65.00 as claimed.

$14.83 x 4= $57.32 Lowes Kit
                   $12.00 Ebay Price
                   $69.32 Total (without tax)

For the $$$ Jeff's Spacer Lift is the best value and it is done right! Plus he will practically make you any size you want. Much.. much better deal. IMO...

Yeah and all the dude is selling is a PDF... for $12.00

Shucks I know a guy that gives away CD's of C3 Corvette electrical schematics to folks on a particular Forum....

Maybe the members of ZukiWorld should file all of the tech / build tips and market them. Then donate the $$$ to a charity of choice....

Sorry for the of topic thought.....

In response to the original question..... "It's a RIPOFF!!!

Alright Ill stay away from that one.  Thats why I bought another Zuki today.  I had a 4 door Auto for the ol'lady last winter (Albeta, Canada) and it never let us down.  590 bucks , lots of heat and 4x4 .  Just left its imprint this spring when I  found all  oil it dripped.... so I sold it and bought her an ECHO (which the wife wrote off).  Then bought her an ESTEEM  :police:

Today I got a 2 door 5 speed for myself and the front bearings are shot, cv clickers, fuel tank leaks, no pipe off after the header  >:D  .. Time for some fixin and liftin.
