Default Suspension advice

I want to upgrade to and ome suspension. Why would you go medium duty instead of heavy duty, thought it was weird that the were both listed at the same price on Atlantic British. Also, can you do the 2" lift without redoing hoses?

The heavy duty lifts are made more for trucks with heavy winch bumpers, racks, winches, etc (basically anything heavy). The HD springs will also give you more of a stiffer ride on road compaired to the medium duty. You should be fine with factory length brake lines but I would recomend replaceing them if they are the factory ones. Also check www.lucky8llc.com for prices, he's usually a lot better for prices on lifts.

yeah. im with Brian, check lucky 8 and check out the Terrafirma +2 kit, if you dont have or plan on getting some bumpers etc than get the medium or you will hate the road ride.

as for your sig, i would use Peak universal coolant. because if you're out somewhere and u spring a leak or need to top up you can ask anyone for coolant and you don't have to worry about mixing and making milk shake.

+1 for talking to Justin at L8.

You shouldn't need to do extended brake lines with a 2" lift unless you go with an >+2" extended shocks (this would give you more articulation and thus you'd need brake lines and extended ABS sensors).

I just installed a TerraFirma 3" lift from L8 last weekend and it's great, but my brake lines need to be replaced ASAP. They are OK temporarily, but leave no room for additional articulation...
