actually, its from Overkill Engineering which is based in NSW Australia (those prices are aussie dollars)

its a good kit, saw it in action at a  recent  comp and it flexes extremely well and drives nice on the road still apparently.

tell you what would be nice ,
would be just a front conversation that would take the kick diff but running coils to match up the 3 inch calmini lift so you just leave your rear axle alone

This kit can be set up to any height so you would be able to set so you didn't have to touch the rear.

I can see what your saying and nice to have a do it yourself and choice of axles

only one issue,

if memory serves me well, Toy R&P ratios come close at 5.79 compared to say 5.83 calmini ,

So the ring gear ratios would cause a slight issue,

Maybe one option is an extended sammy axle running the kick R&Ps but I doubt my front ARB would fit that housing with out some modification.

Given me some ideas .

PS the product looks great and its about time to for the old kick,,,,
I suppose I keep things fairly stock for ease of parts and changing..

Stock maybe but aftermarket R&Ps - well what would you like? theres a huge choice 6.5:1 would cover most Zuk apps I should think (too lazy to do the maths now)

Hilux have a 5.29 which is close.
Other options are building a hybrid like the Suzanna. But in all honesty you will pick up a pair of yota axles cheaper than building a hybrid of some sort.

yota go up to 7.9 something or other , I was referring to if you kepted your Suzuki rear axle and only wanted to change the front. But if you are going to do it then you might as well change both
