« on: May 03, 2007, 08:44:11 PM »
  Is $350.00 for a barely used ome 2 inch kit with springs,shocks,struts,and half inch spacers a good deal?I would not want ant more lift but 2 inches and 235's would be cool

That's a good deal.  2 Struts would normally be over $250, 2 shocks, $150, 4 coils $250, if all bought new.

    Thank's for the info!It was used strictly of road for about 450-500 miles.He then got deployed to the sand,and when he came home he changed to a bigger kit.
     I will definately buy it and hold onto it until I get wheels and tires.

 I bought the kit today,and on the way home I stopped by Walmart,and had some jerk with a big hitch and no insurance back into my front end.It messed up my bumper cover,impact bar,and grill.Sucks to be me.I will never see the money they owe,and no way will I put it on my insurance.

Didn't get their plate or anything?

...or was this a hit and run and you weren't in the vehicle?

  The driver came inside and had me paged,and 2 secongs told me he had no insurance.We called the police,filed police report,etc,but the guy draws dissability so I can only hope he pays.He then got seriously irritated  at me when his truck was impounded cause he had no insurance.
  I wanted a winch bumper,but was going to wait until I got wheels and tires for my lift install.I guess I will go ahead and do that now and just look goofy for a while.

Well, at least he got caught.

There's always small claims court if he doesn't pay.  There's a police report so it's not like he can say he didn't do it.

  I will get estimates using new and used parts,and try ro work with the guy.I can easily do the work myself after 17 years of fabrication and building firetrucks.As long as I get enough to cover my costs I will be happy.At least he was cool enough to have me paged instead of just driving off.but I got pissed when he went off on me about his ride getting impounded.That is the law not my idea.

  I have the maximum ammount of insurance the state of KY allows,because about 25% of the drivers in this state also have no insurance.But in 11 years with my insurance company i have never had a claim,and with 2 teenage drivers,one driving for 15 months,and one driving for 2 months,i will not jeporadize my rates over this,or they would pay up.If he doesnt pay,I will just have to go ahaed and build my winch bumper.
  Sorry I inspired foul language.My kids say I have that ability in spades!!
 
 By the way,does a 2 inch body lift combined with my ome lift kit cause any swaying or rocking?

All lifts will cause an increase in both because of the higher centre of gravity. Its not a problem, you just have to corner a little slower. Some more offset wheel rims reduce the effect considerably.
Driving with no insurance is just plain wrong, I have no sympathy for that guy.
