ok i guess im jumping in with both feet! bought yota axles . planning on running 33s or 35 what ever i can find used prob. my problem is suspention. i guess some sort of jeep leafs would be good but why not 3 link the front and 4 link the rear. i cant find a vendor with a kit so i guess i would have to build either way. you guys are the experts ! give me your opinions . thanks matt

What are you looking to do with your new toy? Is it going to be off road only, some street or Daily Driver? What kind of trails do you hit? Woods, Rock or Mud? How much are you looking to spend.

Once you tell everyone those basic questions they can tell you how you should build it.

Pretty sure trail tough sells a coil/link kit for trackers and sidekicks, but it'll probably cost more than you paid for your entire rig.

I used www.ruffstuffspecialties.com for a LOT of parts and heims and brackets for my Jeep... top notch stuff, great customer service, and it's not insanely priced whatsoever

Call the number on the home page, Dan is great to deal with... it's nice when you call a company and the owner is the one answering the phones 90% of the time.

some street use i driver it to work now and then about 20 miles no interstate, trail wise ,ive been to badlands for zukimelt last 2 yrs in a mostly stock sidekick, looking to do more with it. really dont want to spend 2700 on kit from trail tough when they tell you its not good on the road. the only things definite is yotas with grizly locker rear and lock rite front and 5.89s other than that not sure. tires size 33s or 35s i guess.

Dan is a great guy. He'll give you 10% off usually with no issue if your in a 4x4 club. He has the best deal around for complete heim sets!
