EBAY lift bit!

Post by **suzuki boy** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 6:02 pm

I can remeber one thread on them but can't find it!

Is this kit any good? Have you used it? Do you know someone who has used it?

Just pretty cheap and has every thing you need!

If there half decent i might give them a go!

THANKS

Are you talking springs or body lift. If body lift, I sell kits that include everything you need depending on how you modify the steering.

I think it looks a bit dodgey!

OME isn't too expensive in the grand scheme of things.

To save a few bucks you could just buy the springs and use Commodore shocks and Hilux or whatever people are using for the front.

sorry to butt in here.sierra jim or anyone else.What shocks are in the rear?what model commodore? i have just done a 2" ome lift and used some sock lux rears i had about n monroe lux fronts in the front,im bumping my rear shocks out in compression,dunno bout the front yet.

has any one tried these yet because im about to buy some

any info

Post by **grimbo** » Fri May 25, 2007 6:02 pm

as Jim said just buy good quality OME dakar springs. They aren't that expensive, proven to work and have a good life cycle, especially on Sierras.

Post by **skez** » Fri May 25, 2007 6:44 pm

yeh but u wont get any cheaper than these just want to no if anyones got them

Post by **bigzuk** » Fri May 25, 2007 8:07 pm

there is probably a reason no one has them...or owns up to having them.

cheaper isnt always better.

Id think it would ride like a skateboard and flex about the same.

Post by **skez** » Fri May 25, 2007 8:31 pm

yeh ill see how they go and if i want a good ride ill just drive my coily im just trying to get my leaf one to pass a rwc

Post by **bobzuki** » Fri May 25, 2007 8:35 pm

I WOULD AGREE WITH BUYING A KNOWN BRAND I SEARCHED DID COMPARISON AND THE OME DAKER KIT WAS BETTER LONGER REAR SHOCKS ABOUT 50MM,HEAVY DUTY SPRINGS IF TO HARD YOU CAN SOFTEN THEM AND YOU GET A STEERING DAMPER IN KIT ALL FOR $850.00 COMPLETE BUSHES,U BOLTS,SWAY BAR ADAPTION PLATE AND THE THE RIDE HEAPS BETTER THAN THE 13 YEAR OLD SET THAT WAS IN IT AND IT FIXED THA LEAN

Post by **skez** » Fri May 25, 2007 8:38 pm

where do u get them from............

Post by **bobzuki** » Fri May 25, 2007 8:54 pm

FROM YOUR FRIENDLY ARB STOCKIST ,I THINK IT WAS A GOOD DEAL ,OR MAYBE HE FELT SORRY FOR ME DRIVING A CAR THATS ARSE WAS NEARLY DRAGGING ON THE GROUND,CAN SUPPLY PART NO IF NEEDED ,

Post by **skez** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 5:07 pm

i just recieved this kit today i will let everyone no how they are when i put them in and the shocks it comes with are ulitma gas shocks, it comes with all the bushes and u bolts aswell the leafs look allright to

Post by **grimbo** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 5:16 pm

I hope you didn't pay $750 for a no name brand off the internet. For that money you could get the OME Dakar stuff

Post by **skez** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 10:42 pm

no it was about 600 and comes with everything

yeh show me one that comes with 2 inch lifted springs and shocks, plus bushes and u bolts etc........ yeh i thought so

Post by **skez** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 10:50 pm

for under 600

Post by **smileysmoke** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 11:47 pm

i got a full kit from a local suspension dealer: west oz springs in welshpool, WA.
bushes, 2in lifted springs, shockies all round (desert fox), full bush kit also
800 bucks.. sure its not 600 bucks + postage but its proven and hell its a lot easier to get feedback from a real local oz company.

either way good luck.

SO you just asked at an ARB store, or did you jump online and the phone,send emails to places, and look for other stockists? Have you considered the phrase "you get what you pay for". Last time i rode in a zook with a cheap ebay kit on it, it was garbage.

Layto....

yeh not always tho hey.........
IT IS A LEAF SPRUNG SIERRA THEY RIDE LIKE SHIT ANY WAY
if u want ride get a coily they are much better i no because i have both

Post by **offroader-rama** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 9:46 pm

well how did they go ??
do me a favour before you bolt the lower shock mount pull the shock down and see how far past the lower shock mount they go with the new springs i bet its about an inch
i brought a sierra not so long ago with 2inch kings 2inch shackels and rancho 5000's shocks and they only have 1inch past lower bolt on level ground very disapointing the guy put it in a shop and spent $3400 to get it done also got a body lift at same time, but $3400 and its high, stiff and restricted pour guy.

any anyone after some springs i have a large range of lifted sierra, hilux and cj springs left overs from other projects for sale. as well as standeds that are good to get reset.
(reset 3 inch springs work great cost around $80 a pair to get done, if you pull them out).

Post by **skez** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 10:06 pm

yeh it should be done sometime in the next week or so

Post by **sierrafreak** » Sat Jun 09, 2007 11:34 am

I have that kit under my zook and havent had any probs only thing i did was bent a leaf spring when i hit an embankment but $60 to fix wasnt a drama i recken there pretty good just make sure you fit them correctly i.e drivers side in the right spot.
