This has prob been mentioned 100 times on here, but coils in a sierra! Roughly how much and is it worth doing at home or paying to get it done!

Yep is has been mentioned 100 times before, so go search.

You need to provide a sh*t load more infomation before we can answer your question. What car, LWB, SWB, coils all round, or front/rear only. What linkage setup, diff swap at the same time. How good are you with tools, what do you have access too.

:roll:

First thing - is it going to be road registered. You are in QLD, the anti-modification state. Check with your authorities and consult an engineer first as to if this will even be road legal.

If you know what your doing and have access to a shop then its not that expensive a job. Are you streching the WB too? (very recomended).

There may even be some pre-fab coil kits that you just weld on, good if your not that great at working out links etc. Overkill had one ages ago, done know it its still being made. Locktup 4x4 import lots of stuff from the states, with top service and pricing. See if they can source kits. If you just get the brackets and fab up the links yourself, it shouldnt be too much postage.

If you making your own, have a search through this board, then get over to www.pirate4x4.com/forum and do plenty of research.
