I don't know that anyone on here uses this setup. It's not enough lift for many. I have read on other forums that while they do work as advertised, the springs settle quickly and the struts don't last long. I think you're better to go the proven route of OME Springs or AC Springs Sent from my nearly dead S6

Welcome to the group. As k9sar said, there's tons of useful info on these pages. There's not a lot of aftermarket support for our trucks and not a lot of info available on them, but you'll find a lot of what you need (or someone that knows the answer) on NPORA.

Welcome

Woah woah, why are we reviving a post from 2008?

I have Fleurys (4x4 designs) spacers and they're fine. They're just spacers. They're well made though and are effective for gaining a bit of extra height. I'm going to be swapping mine out and doing a full SFD with AC coils to get a few more inches in the next month. I'll sell you my spacers if you're interested.

You could install Rancho 5000 shocks. http://www.amazon.com/Rancho-RS5407-RS5000-Steering-Stabilizer/dp/B000CB42O2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1456959051&sr=8-2&keywords=rancho+5000

Good lookin' tires, fellow Q driver

Welcome. Good looking pathy. Do you have any plans for it? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Hate to revive an old thread like this but I can't help but think that a ladder could be very useful and could be very easily fabbed to be move able and just hang it on the rack or rack channel to use it Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

That thing looks so ridiculously good that I almost want to give up working on mine because it'll never look that cool Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I'm interested Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Scavenged some cross bars from the junkyard, painted them, cleaned the main tracks, then installed

That was my thinking. I'm headed to a junkyard for some parts tomorrow and with any luck I may come home with a swing arm too. I was going to build one to put into my receiver like you did CDN, but I'll probably do this instead. I want to put a hi lift and Jerry cans on it too so we'll see what happens Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Now I really want to do this. I wonder if the swing arm would fit on a qx4 and if it would require any reinforcement Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Ok. With regard to rear shocks, do you know if anyone has relocated them to higher up on the axle? They hang down super far. I can't imagine it would be that difficult (if you can weld) to put shock mounts from a jeep on there, or just weld the existing ones higher up?

That's not a typo right? That's Four hundred and seven thousand four hundred and forty five miles? wow

I'm at about 199k miles. (though I did just buy it a few months ago)

Right, I've done some fair research and know what's available. I'm not upset, I've participated in and run forums in the past. I'm actually using Fleurys' spacers right now but tucking 32" tires under the rig (QX4 flares are a bit different than the pathy) doesn't leave me beans for clearance or flex. I was either considering something similar to CDN_S4s 4/6 lift, or doing a 6" all around lift. My question was more in reference to the actual part numbers you guys used for your suspension after doing a lift. For example, some of the build guides recommend Rancho 5000 shocks for the rear, while others say that ~6 months later they are junk. I've seen a lot of bad press about OME too, not to mention they are pricey. So, in that light, what rear struts are y'all using? What has worked well for you? For putting the 2" lift springs http://www.summitracing.com/parts/tjm-770fr10a?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKEAiA-s6zBRDWudDL2Iic4QQSJAA4Od3XgZqoZK1Ogbdp9tZd5K1yKDllQpKPS-dvWGyPjIN9QxoCrnDw_wcB onto the front, you probably wouldn't use the OE front shocks. What part# have you been running with, how long, and how's the performance been? That kind of thing is more what I was looking for I guess. Appreciate the tip on the search feature btw

har har I get it, I'm the newbie here asking questions that have been answered 100+ times. I apologize for being 'that guy' but I couldn't find the info I was looking for

4/6 might be the way to go. Did you use 5.5" WJ springs in the rear?

You've got a 6" lift, correct?

Right, I didn't think you could run stock shocks because you will top them out. I don't know what kind of shocks people are using with the AC springs though. I'm considering a SFD+AC setup since I've got a QX4 and lose out on about an inch of clearance with the fender flares, but since they're built into the door paneling I want to keep them. I have 32" tires (32.1") and a 2" spacer lift right now which just isn't enough. I don't plan on upping the tire size any time soon because these tires are brand new. I understand with the SFD+AC I will need the SFD kit, 5.5" WJ springs, Rancho 5000 struts, AC Springs, and new shocks (not sure what kind to use).

I've been prowling around for a bit trying to find info on what people are using for suspension replacement/upgrade SFD and SFD + AC. Some have said Rancho 5000 for the rear, some say don't do Rancho. I don't know if anyone is using OE struts with AC coils. For all of you who are running SFD and/or AC coils, what are you using for shocks and struts?

I'm sure it's buried somewhere in this thread, but what tire carrier is that? It's a swing away with Jerry Can mounts on it and that's pretty unique. Did you custom fab that or did you buy it?
