Check out independent4x.com. This is about the only vendor for Isuzu's. Basically all you need are some coils (OME 912's or 919's) and 1" coil spacers to lift the rear. The front is free; just turn the torsion bar adjuster (1 turn = 1/4 inch). You may or may not need to relocate your upper ball joints to the under side of the control arms. This will help get the alignment closer to spec.

I've had excellent personal experience with both Independent4x and Calmini vendors for Isuzu.

The specific is: Independent4x has much richer overall product set for Isuzus than Calmini. But Calmini provides great and balanced (in terms of price and technology) "Isuzu lift for Dummies" packages. When I was wheeling with Isuzukid, I was impressed by his Calmini lift. But if you know 100% what you want, Independent4x provides better variety of products.

Both companies served me very well in terms of service/shipping time, response, etc.

I'm confused? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I've bought from Matt before, yes I dont have personal experience with Calmini, but I just didn't want him to think it wasn't an option.

I do not understand what you want to say. It's too complivated for me.

Go with either one, you will be fine.
