Spirson offroad...Good or Bad

Just like the question says, are they a good place? I have been eyeing their 8 plus inch kit. Looks legit, comes will everything plus king coil overs and full rear springs. Let me know.

You saw the thread over on DTX. Its gonna be better than all the standard kits, but it will fall into comparision to Thuren, Carli, and even KORE. If you want a bigger kit, but want a great ride, Don Thuren at Thurenfabrication.com can make a lift for any size you want.

One of my good friends has Spirson on his 06 and its an awesome system. He runs their kit and 37 12.50 bfg baja t/a's and that set up off road is great. It rides like my 93 ranger prerunner did. worth the money in my opinion...

Ya, thats alot. I mean its just at if not abit more than Thuren/Carli/KORE kits. I know some people like the taller lifts, but Thuren can make a lift any height you want, and I know KORE has that Technical lift, which is bigger.
Looks like a decent kit, just doesnt seem to fit the dynamics of a "Baja" truck.

or you could spend $20k for One Up Offroad kit with their transfer case. the dodge kit is 14" coil overs all 4 corners with 10" wheel travel on 42" tires. lol

OUO jumps their trucks on a regular basis and does not have wicked rebound. lands soft and keeps going. I am going with their 20" kit when I get everything lined out.

Do you plan on ever driving the truck on the road or highway? If so, boggers would be the worst choice ever. At 55 mph boggers run 105 decibels. And tire wear is non existant unless you measure how fast you can wear a tire to nothing. I think your mega would look incredible on a set, but with the 20 inch coilover, why not go 46" baja claws or 49" iroks with some trimming?
