Heyo,

I just wanted to post a follow up here on the install of a new Old Man Emu OME suspension system in my 2003 Chevrolet Tracker. Purchased the kit (springs - 2959 and 2961, shocks, struts) from Trail Tough. They were fine to deal with, got dinged on the customs, but that's to be expected I suppose.

Long and short of it: got about 1.25-1.5" lift, but the best is the ride quality improvement.  The Tracker is so much more enjoyable to drive, especially off-road where the potholes and waterbars are much less harsh. Last logging road I traveled up for mountaineering, my buddy  driving behind me noted that the body of the Tracker seemed really stable, and the suspension was doing all the movement. Guess that's the point eh! It is a definite improvement.

Very glad I went with this kit, and although it was more money than others, I am very happy with the results. Thanks to all on this forum who helped out with input, tips, etc.

Cheers,

Matt

You're running exactly what I'm running, except mine is on a African market 1998 Grand Vitara, and it sounds like you feel exactly like I do about it.

OME is not the only brand of suspension kit I've used, but, they are my first choice, and if they have what I need, I'll pay for it.

Hey Matt,

Did you install coil spacers?  I just bought the kit from Rocky Road and it came with spacers.
I have a 2000 Chevy Tracker.


Thanks, Arnie

OME does not supply coil spacers as a part of their lift - they do however offer "trim packers" in the event you feel the need to level the vehicle.

I could be wrong, but I believe Rocky Road are in the habit of supplying a kit with components of their choice, based on OME components, but not necessarily an OME kit.
