The only "off the shelf" kit that'll give you 3" lift without stuffing cv angles and causing the front upper control arms to ride on the upper bump stops is a Calmini kit from 4WDUSA in Perth. They are the distributors, there's one on the east coast somewhere too.

yeah i know abut the kit i was wondering if i could just get everything seperate like buy the coils, and shocks and fit them. I dont know how much the kit is and i think by bying everything seperate it will be cheaper

There is no "cheap" way out of it to get the right result but there is more available for your Fronty than most know of and Calmini is not the only option. The catch is don't do it piecemeal, it ends up costing more or you end up with mis-matched components. Thats the mistake I made way back when I first bought "Little Red".

If you PM or email me at ozisuzu@iinet.net.au with your model and enough info so I can ID its specs I will put together for a custom package for you to consider.

If you don't go ahead, no problem, its your money. However, when you shop around, try to find some one who is really interested in getting the right package for your car and isn't just interested in your $ for some thrown together combo. Most never see enough Isuzu's to really know them. Here's a hint, if their package must have the torsion wound up to reach the height, tread carefully, it might not be all its cracked up to be.

I started Ozisuzu because i got sick of "ummm, Rodeo, yeah mate we've got some stuff..." and it turned out to be mostly toyware, not hardware.
