Default Nobody Has Lift Kits In Stock???

Why is this the case? Rovertym is out, DAP is out...
Don't want to go 3 weeks until they restock because the truck shakes over a good bump because it needs shocks. Anybody know a place with quality lift kits IN STOCK?

if yer disco shakes and wobbles its probably not just your shocks... i had 154k on mine and i had no wobble or shaking. even had them on with my lift and 32's and still cruised bumpy roads fine at 80mph.... you prolly need to look at some other components

You don't buy a lift kit based on who has what in inventory, you buy based on a little research, your wheeling skills and what you plan on putting your truck thru.
DAP lifts are the last thing you want to buy, RTE is always a few weeks out, call Tony, Monday at 650-365-4145 and he will have an OME set in the mail to you ASAP.
So what year truck, how tall a lift are you looking for?

Call Tony as Mike suggested. Not only will you have your lift quickly but he'll work with you to get the exact setup for what your truck is going to be used for. What are you using the truck for? Do you have to have a 3" lift? When I installed my 2" OME kit I ended up almost 3" taller than before the lift because my stock springs had settled.

I agree on not buying for what's in stock only. I have done some asking around. I was told that OME springs sag quicker than others. Roverytym's were mentioned as the highest quality but DAP is half the price of Rovertym the "Blues" are great.

So I will be using the truck around town and some light trailing. Wife will drive too so I'd also like a nice ride. I may not NEED a 3" lift as I plan on putting bigger tires as well. I don't want to buy an inferior product just to have it 3 weeks sooner. Hence the request for who has some good kit in stock!

The OME suspension is what most of us with lifts run. They are definitely not an inferior product. Old Man Emu is made by the same company as ARB. Who told you the blue springs are great? I have not heard anything good about the blue springs. There's a reason the blue springs are half the price of Rovertym or OME. Stay with either Rovertym or OME.

Any lift is going to ride stiffer than your factory springs. If you're worried about ride quality you may want to look at spacers instead of new springs.

Have you taken the truck of road? Do you know what it can do in stock form?

blue springs SUCK if your going to go cheap go with the pro-line springs otherwise go for ome or rovertym. big blue springs sag in no time!!! and the spring rates are all over the place i would never trust those things!

you get what you pay for in the world of rovers.
