You can order a set of OME struts and shocks from Trail Tough, ( Brent is way cool) and add a set of Jeffs spacers front and rear, or go with a complete OME lift, Coils, struts and shocks from Trail Tough. Still way cheaper than Zukination's but not nearly as complete. The Control Arms and the other misc. Metal bits sure are nice.  But, do you need them?

If you've got the $$$ to spend, go OME. Otherwise, Jeff's spacers & if you REALLY want to go big, start fender trimming, or body lift. I wouldn't go with Zukination's kit.

Rather then start a new thread I thought I would add to this one.

If I buy a set of OME springs and shocks/struts and pair that with Jeffs coil spacers, what could I expect to gain?

What other parts would I need?

Would I have to worry about CV angles or driveshaft extensions and such with this setup?

I recently purchased a 95 sidekick 4dr and I'm looking to give it a better stance and slightly better performance in the desert. It wouldn't really be used on tough rocky trails, but mainly rutted out dirt trails in the desert and dirt/sand. The reason I'm considering both the new OME kit and the spacers is because my current shocks/struts/springs are worn out. Instead of replacing with stock components I thought I'd replace with something a little better. Would I even need the spacers after installing a complete OME upgrade? What other suggestion might you have for me.

I appreciate all the help.

-Nick
