I have retired my truck from off roading to house duty. Now Im building a (dare i say it here??) Suzuki Samauri for off roading only. I am doing the buildup this summer and have to do the lift first, because the diesal engine I am putting in wont fit stock height. The lift I have chosen to install has rear cj springs up front, stock rear from a 78 on up to an 86? i think that was the last year made? My question to you all would be, where could I find these and how much should I expect to spend. I was hoping to be directed to a body shop where they do lifts and the old springs are useless, and the owner would like to make a dent in his bill by selling them to me. Your advice is much needed and anticipated. Regards, Max
Just a little on my rig and the plans for it; 1.9 turbo diesal from a 92 jetta in canada, 4" lift with steering and driveline adjustments to match, snorkel, lockers front and rear, crawler front bumper, and defender style external roll cage, warn x8000i winch, sitting ontop of 32 or 33" ( ) tires. Really havnt comitted to tires yet. Beadlock maybe....

I was thinking about that 1/4 elliptical setup, looks really cool, i wonder how hard it is and expensive it is to set up on my rig. I also wonder how much articulation you get from that? The rigs ive seen with it on are coil kits as well with all sorts of frame mods. I have no welder yet since I moved here from oregon and need to get a house so I can buy just such things to play with. The set up im aiming for is the missing link suspension at rockyroad summit with glenn wakefeild, whom I think you might have spoken with if you built that sammy. I love their site. Thanks again, Max
