 You have a great year as far as gearing options as well. You have 4.62s in the diffs if it has the 8V and 3 spped auto. The gears for manuals are 5.12s. Great gearing for around a 30" tall tire. Go through Sky Manufacturing for the 2" spacer lift. It comes with everything including strut spacers.

2" lift
2.0 swap
I know...Pretty boring... FOR NOW...

Thanks for the replies is there a contact # to order these spacer's and will this level out the sidekick as it sits stink bug stock and will I need body lift as well ? to reach 29" or 30" tires and does that spacer stiffen the front?
