I've been looking at upgrading the standard suspension on my ZG. I have had the Iron rock 7" kit sugguested, but that cost to much when you have a young family, so I was looking for something a bit more reasonable in price & was wondering what other people have done?
Or have a second hand kit the want to sell. As I do what to get & play alot harder than I can know.
thanks for any ideas/info given.

Thanks, I started out looking at the Iron Rock Off Road 7" Kit USD$2499- http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=IROR&Product_Code=IR-Z7PLA
However after talking to Wooders, anything from the good old USA you can pretty much double the price to get it here. Plus with any lift over about 4" you can then add SYE, brake lines, engineering, ..... and the list can go on.
Steve T. advised to have a look at Rustys Off Road which have a 3.5/4.5"(with 1" spacers) which are priced around USD$400 mark. This Kit involves the use of the standard OME Front Springs in rear. Which of course save money.
So by the time I've bought the Kit, rims & 33" tyres I'm already over $2000. Going back 7-8 years this would have been a couple of sober weekends big deal, but not anymore. As I'm sure people with children understand.
Thanks Chris

Sorry the Kit using the OME front springs is from Rocky-Road http://www.rocky-road.com/zjtrailblazer.html not Rusty Off Road.
