Rocky-Road Outfitters...what's the deal?

[crager34]

Can you elaborate on the benefits/details of the "spring and crank" lift?
Best,
James

If I may - He is talking about Old Man Emu (OME) 912's coil springs for the rear (around $150 shipped) and then Torsion Bar Cranks (poor mans lift) for the front.

Shocks - More power to you if you can find OEM shocks, but CHA-CHING!!... probably gonna cost you a bit. A popular shock is the adjustable Rancho 9000XL. I love them.

Calimini offers a more detailed lift kit, but you don't "need" all their stuff, but it's a good setup.

Sliders just came in!! Yippy!!!

The O.E.M. KYB shocks, are apparently only available thru Isuzu, and will cost around 400 bucks apiece. It's a pretty superior shock, despite the price:bwgr:

Nice, I wont plan anything real crazy for the weekend. I do want to get my cladding painted soon though.

You might wanna wait until after Moab to paint your cladding... IMO.

So the coil spring go over the existing shox?
Not too clear on the torsion bar deal....
I found a pair of low milage (5k) rear OEM shox, and paid 125 shipped. Still looking for fronts...

James, the springs and shocks are two separate pieces. The OME 912 lift up your rear end a little, and then you crank the torsion bars to raise the front. I will probably eventually do some sort of shock upgrade, but for now, I am just too poor. I am lifting next week and I will be putting on some new rubber soon too, so my pockets will be all linty and nothing else. Not to mention the price of gas to Moab and back.

Hey, Bart!
Thanks, that helps clear it up a bit....I know all about the "linty pocet" thing myself lately. Just spent 800 ducats on 1st row Iron maiden tix for next month...
Rowhard, I think we already spoke about shox. I am looking for lower milage. Trying not to have to recharge, but I will keep yours in mind...
