My advice stay away from Z links,you would be better to do a half hi steer using a Merc steering arm,there is a write up on Suzukiclubuk.I would use astra m2 shocks on the front £9 each and transit shocks on the rear much better that extended shock mounts.Dave Jones/K9DRJ at bits4vits will do you the prop spacers and the poly bushes.As for the perches, how good is your welding??? Suzukishrek off Difflock does a wicked set of laser cut bolt on perches,you can also get the perches of ebay for £25 a set.Dave at LLama 4x4 do good quality extended brake hoses for not much money he also does rough country shocks.
Personally i wouldn't do a SPOA without a Bam bar as you may end up with S shaped springs,but again that is my personal choice.

Regards

Steve

Pity because a slightly lifted Sj on decent muds will eat a disco alive.

For the price of the disco you could get a very capable Sj.....

PS How much for the SJ??? :D

Im a disco man through and through and very much doubt an SJ will "eat" a disco for breakfast. In fact its probably the most insane thing i have ever heard, you must be on some strong drugs!

BUT at those prices that would be enough to get me into an SJ. You wont get lift kits etc for landys for that cfheap!
