Hi Tim,
I talked to my sales rep last week about that very issue. Assuming you
are wanting one for the newer model ones. He said that they have been
working on it, but not to hold my breath because it could be a while
until it is available.
Thanks,
Kevin Wyas

I just spoke with Superlift. Yes, they are in the slow process of designing the kit you want. They admit to it not happening before fall of this new year. At this time there is no pricing available.

Yeah -- it's right behind my bank -- if you come into town from Calhoun, either on 80 or on I-20You want the Well Road exit, and Keep heading into town on 80. You'll pass that new little strip mall on the left that has the Domino's Pizza in it, and on the right you'll pass a Culp's Auto Repair. Keep on going about a quarter mile and on the right you'll see a new 4 story bank building--there are several buildings bhind that bank and one of em is the ORI. The don't have a lot in stock, they special order most everything, but if you call ahead and ask for Josh, he'll give you prices and how long it'll take him to get it. They make most of their $$$ on installing the stuff, but that's to be expected with a generation of people who can't turn a wrench, but can whip out their credit card and cahrge it with ease!Jay-Bird wrote:see all the people that think they know about superlift relly dont knoe much cause they dont live in northeast louisiana around the dealerships... like skyjacker and superlift.... and is OFI off of Hwy 80 Chris>

make more then just 2 flares!!KCustom wrote: I have seen here that the rear flares do not fit very well so I am going to make a new mold and form a set that fit the truck.
Sounds good, when do you think you will have them made up? How much do you want for a set? Also are you going to make them a 1.5" wide like Bush, or wider?KCustom wrote:I am going to....I can always pull more. It helps to have a vac former in my r&d area... think that I may pull them from .250 abs instead of the .125 that bushwacker uses.

quickbiker wrote:blablabla, it's the same ol line. When the Jeep Liberty came out the first year, a lift also came out that same year and that was a completely new design. It's been 3 years now for the S-10 crew cab with the same ol platform, come on. The money just isn't there for S-10's I guess.

Welcome!
That's probably the ZR2 only one.24digger wrote:4wheel parts has an advertisement for superlift 6" 98-02 S-10/Blazer for $1599.99 Is this the same lift?
ludwis wrote:Is this kit going to be completely bolt on? Or is it going to require cutting & welding like the TM?
I know that Truck on the front cover. It's an Isuzu Amigo with a SAS conversion. I did not get my mag yet. Can't wait to see what they say.24digger wrote:![]()
The Stock is a D44 but modified so the internals are not exactly the same as a standard D44. But there alot of aftermarket stuff for that axle though anyway plus disc brakes too.adrenalnjunky wrote:Ijust read the article in my issue--it's got a almost stock v6, but the axles are Dana 70 out back and 60 up front.
One thing I did find interesting is that those Amigos had a Dana 44 in the rear stock. have to keep that in mind when searching wreckingyards.
So far it sounds good too. Would be nice if it was a coil-over converstion as well like this kit for the fullsize: http://www.rockkrawler.com/pages/chevy_gmc_1500.htmlKCustom wrote:I spoke with Superlift on Monday....Still working on it. Should have some new pictures soon. From what here this should be one of the best kits on the market when it is done. I will post the pictures as soon as I have them.
Thanks
The new SL kit for fullsize say stock "spare" will fit with the stock size tire. So with the fullsize kit, you need a wheel with less backspacing. This is a downfall for kits with spindles but with less dropping down, does appear to make the kits less flexy though. Looks like all the manufactors are going this way.quickbiker wrote:That be great, but I don't think a new spindle could be used on the s-10, cause of the backspacing of the wheel. There is no room to move the top arm pivot up cause it is just clearing the wheel now inside. Unless they make it manditory to used different BS wheels with the kit, which would be fine by me, if they could recommend a brand, cause we all know how difficult it is to find a wheel the works!
Very Cool! Can't wait to see the pics. Also findout what backspacing wheels might be needed. Also find out about skid plates. I bought the 3 skid plate kit but have not installed them. I'm assuming the oilpan/engine one won't fit after the lift but the front and transfer might. or maybe they will have their own skid kit which would probably be better.KCustom wrote:Spoke with Superlift this week. Things are going well. Mike asured me that the front shaft angles would remain level so not to put the cv joint in a bind. The new tech that they are using on the new kits will be in the Regular S-Series Kit.....I will have New Pictures to to post next week....
you shouldnt have a problem with a block thats 2"s or smaller.KCustom wrote:Mike told me that there will be a front stainless skid plate and double shock hoops. I am also hoping that there will be traction bars. I have a feeling that I will need them with the supercharger....
Def. try to get pics. Do you think they would consider an option to elimiate the t-bar with say coil over shocks? Since they plan on using new spindles, there might be room for coil overs and eliminate the t-bar drop down brackets. Would be nice......KCustom wrote:I hope to have news this week and maybe some pictures...
