I have used Digger Spacers, they are top quality.

I am using BDS springs, struts and shocks... overpriced, but they work fine.

OME makes great springs and struts


and once again.  DOUBLE BLEH on body lifts..   ;D

are there any other front and rear coil springs that can be use on the sidekick other than the oems that will work good that any of you all know about or have tryed?  just wondering about that also what about a set off a 4 door kick would they be any better than a 2 door kick springs?
thanks rick.

GV springs are supposed to work well. Give around 2" of lift.

 ??? I wish I would have seen this before I bought my 1 1/2 inch strut spacers for $60.    Does it matter what year Crown Vic for the rear shocks?  Do I still need to do a body lift to fit 31's?  I bought  the spacers from hoepkers on Ebay.

Dont want to spend alot, buy just the boondox 2.5 lift coils, or 3inch lift coils, and there strut spacers....   Rest is up to you.....

I bought the 4 door 3 inch lift springs, strut spacers... tossed them in my 2 door, sitting on 31x10.5's

thanks rick.

I am using jeep grand cherokee front springs in the rear of my tracker. They give approx. 6" of lift. Cut the little end off the top, they fit right in. Just have to make new pocket for the bottom. Nothing 3 1/2 " tubing and flat plate can't fix.

hello
on the shocks if i remenber right i think they told me 91 vic shocks work real good. as for the jeep coils i pick up a set of those yesturday and going to go today and get some gv coils from a friend of mine and see if they will work. as for the coil spacers i have a friend that just made the coil spring prech on the rear and front 3" taller than the factory one on it they work great i'm planning on doing mine that way and then redoing the rear shock mounts to on the back.
thanks rick.

i have a 92 tracker 2dr. here is what i did. i have 2in heep spacers all the way around and a 3in home made body lift. i am now running 34x10.5 swamper ltb only a little trimming on the front fenders (i already trimmed bumper b4) its a 5spd 1.6  512 gears and moves them bid tires fine around town. i havent taken it off road but im sure tires would be hitting on something. also i just made 3in strut extenders today to put on my front end doesnt bounce at all even with new struts( i think they are on a bind /fully extended or something) just my 2cents worth.
