Full front axle, leaf springs, locking hubs, now that's a man's 4X4 just like my old FJ-40 Land Cruiser!!!

Thats one fine kit !! I had old man emu on my 410 back in the day, that was pretty damn good too

Great, now the SJ is a beast and offroad on heavy terrain much better than the H3, because it‘s small, light and the flex and high is awesome👍

Almost perfect. Maaaaaaaybe a locker. Maybe. Nice.

Good job!

The key is, need longer travel from shockbreaker and also spring. Btw nice Jimny....

Good to know! Great review

Gr8 zook! So can samurai/sierra parts be used for this 410 directly with minimal mods? Can a sierra be modded the same? Thanks

Nice! Can you please tell me what exactly this tire dimension is and does it rub with 2 inch lift?

I want to build a better tow point for my samurai and i can see you have one nice tow hook. how did you put it there? Nice zuk

What did you say about the suspension flex downwards? My suspension is currently nearly going the wrong way so i might need to upgrade..

Get rid of the sway bar. If you ever swap out springs again have a look at OME. Or consider going SPOA. Gives you mega flex and room for 33" tires. But then you go nan need also new gearing :-). To make it much better off road get a locker in the rear. I have lock right in the rear and front of my daily driver and love it!

Dirk Alta There never was a sway bar on these early "410" models, they were first added on the later "413 / Samurai" models. about year '85 - '86. But problem with those brands of lift kits is that they don't have the right paperwork/certificates to be approved in this country, therefor making those kits illegal for road use. We did consider the lockers however, but honestly just never got around to it. But thanks for watching!

I'm glad you did the ramp test! Why did you choose trailmaster over EMU or whatever?

@KJOff-Road

To be honest, i hardly remember. But i think it was several things. one being approval of the kit, here en Europe, making it road legal. and also the price. This kit is produced in Germany, a neighboring country. making it much cheaper to get here, rather than something from the other side of the globe. Thanks for watching!

We have also 2inch and 3inch Trailmaster lifts certificated by TÜV here in Germany.If you wont a real flexy suspension buy a OME suspension kit.

Hey, nice video, I'm also planing to upgrade my sj413 '87. I have already 50mm body lift installed and looking at TrailMaster 50mm suspension lift, will it be enough for 31''' tires?

Hey there. Thanks a lot! The tyres we were running on this, was about 29"-30" But we didn't have any body lift. So im thinking you'll be abel to fit a set of 31" just fine. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the video, nice looking sj. Two questions if you don’t mind. I’m looking at the kit now and I know you have since sold the sj, but in the months after the install, any issues? Road handling? My sj 413 is a daily driver, so important to me. The other option is OME, but more expensive. Lastly, did you widen your steel rims for bigger tyres? Looks like my steel rims, but mine are 5.5in, which is a bit thin for 30’ tyres? Thanks again

John Armstrong Hey John. The suspension upgrade made the ride Much softer, and Much smoother. So it soaked up the bumps much better, and was a lot more comfortable to drive. However, with it being so soft, i strongly recommend that you keep the sway-bars on it, to make it more stable for cornering and on-road driving (mine didn't have any sway-bars, as it was an early 410) And for this one we were just using stock Suzuki rims, off a 413 Samurai. Hope that's the answers you were looking for. Thanks for watching!

There are a few small differences in some of the samurai's, but they are more related to production year, rather than the sales destination. But regardless, the Chassis and suspension setup is completely the same, so the kit we used here should indeed fit any Samurai. Thanks for watching!

OME is the suspension company of ARB if I am correct. Would be surprised if they don't have German TÜV certification. But don't know for sure. Would that be legal in Denmark! Otherwise get it road legal in the Netherlands and then import it :-). Here in the Netherlands a lot can be done. Mine has a coil kit from Rocky Road Outfitters (USA) and is perfectly street legal :-)

Wow nice try

if you want a lot of wheel travel just take the swaybars(the front as i do not think the rear has a swaybar) off the 4wd suzuki and you will gain a foot extra of travel even with stock shox thats what we do with our toyota hilux(surf) and nissan patrols(safari's) and mitsubishi pajero's it gives them a lot of extra travel without any mods more chance of tipping but know your 4wd and know what it can and cant do or its limits

Hey, Thanks for watching. Your right, that is a simple and cheap way to get more wheel articulation out of a stock 4x4. However, this suzuki is one of the very first models. so it never had any swaybars. they were added to the samurais at about the year 88 and on. along with slightly wider axels.

samuel miranda He means the anti-roll bars. I always take the rear bars off my shoguns/pajeros but I have to say i prefer leaving the front one on. I find that taking the front off really affects the handling at higher speeds and causes it to be a LOT more unstable. Sure it's great for extra articulation, but most people don't need it to be that extreme. Also on the pajeros/shoguns you need to be careful as more flex = more chance of shredding cv joints on the front as they are not live axles and not designed for the half shafts to deal with the angles.

Why wouldn't you just opt to go leaf over axle instead... It's so much cheaper for better resullts

@KJOff-Road

9 жыл бұрын

Well, theres a number of reasons why we didnt do that. First of all, it would'nt change the ride at all, and we wouldnt get any more "flex" as we would be on the same old stiff springs. Other then that, all you get from putting your axels undet the springs, is a little more room for tyres. But since we already had the tyres we wanted, we didn't really need it to be much taller. Besides, moving the axels usually messes up your steering allignment, and tends to make truck quite interesting to drive on the road. And on top of all that, that mod is just illigal here aswell. But thanks for watching.
