Mate they may have been my coils you seen, they are custom made by king spring, i bout them a year ago but didnt have the cash to do all the mod's to make them right so settled with a 4 inch. The purple coils that is, if your interested pm us.

Mate, why on earth do you need 8 inch coils?

Assasin Offroad - 3" lift and 37's
BBM rick - 4" lift and 40" XML's

A good flexy 3" lift, 1" body lift (if required) and adjustment of front radius arms is all you need and is far more engineer/DOT happy than an 8' extension which will cost billions to get it working properly and flop on the first side angle.

Look at any comp truck these days, they run the minimum lift to fit tyres so they can remain stable and go for 1/3 up travel, 2/3rd down travel.

Sorry to sound like a prick but big lifts arent necessary anymore.

A 5" lift is the most people usually go for. I usually talk people out of the 7" lift due to some extra probs you come up with.

what size and type of tyres are you looking to run champ?
an 8 inch lift is massive overkill and will cost you a heap you will need to change basically every component.

if you say they have 31-32s standard. a 4inch lift will mean you can fit 8inch bigger tyres.

if you want to do rock crawling you were better off with your suzuki sierra. lighter, cheaper less to damage.
