Hi,
Im pretty tight with money at the moment but am looking to raise my Sierra. My leaf springs are pretty much flat so they're in a bad way of an upgrade. I'm hoping to put new leaf springs on first, then gradually put on shocks and springs. I was looking at Suzuki Sierra 2" 50mm Suspension Spring Major Lift Kit SJ30 SJ50 SJ70 SJ413 Leaf on ebay which cover both the new leaf and shocks? does anybody know if these are any good? They're $650 or is there a cheaper way around?
Also I'm thinking about putting Wrangler Flares on it. What year actually suits the seirra because I went to look at wrangler flares yesterday and they turned out they just wouldnt fit, there was like no bolt holes on them like some of the wrangler flares I've seen on the seirra.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are ALOT of threads on here about that suspension if its the same one im thinking of off ebay? I went with the OME springs and the gabriel shocks and i was pretty happy with it for the cost and was only a little bit more. IMO i think the jeep flares look gayer than aids on a sierra, if i had the money id go the TSOR ABS ones

OME springs are meant to be shithouse these days though.

Went with what you said and bought the OME shocks. Got lucky and bought the set for 250bucks near new. Going to supercheap tomorrow to get the Gabriel shocks. Do I need to bring in my old shocks so that they can measure them or will they know what shocks will fit the sierra?

Don't buy the hilux/commodore shock combo. They are too long when compressed. Buy a set of shocks to suit a sierra with 2" lift. Yes you will need extended lines.
