Mako Off Road lifts?

[xjfish]

Ebay store. http://stores.ebay.com/Mako-Offroad-Products_W0QQsspagenameZl2QQtZkm Most of the stuff is pretty cheap and they have a lot of xj stuff. You can get a 3" lift with coils, AAL and shocks for $250 that looks decent. They also have a 3" crappo lift with 3" spacers and AAL for about $90. Anyone running their stuff at all?? Opinions?

probably the same crap as tuff country, I wouldn't run it. You pretty much get what you pay for on this stuff, it seems there are no deal, unless you are buying used.

They gave me a really good discount on a set of ADJ UCA's. I haven't had a chance to put them on yet though, so no real world experience.

The pieces seem well built though.

Quality is not the best. I really tore up one of their rear XJ shackles.

The customer service is absolutely outstanding though. They really went out of their way to make me satisified.

i guess it all depends on what type of wheelin' you do. if it is light and nothing too extreme, then it would probably be ok. but if you wanna get into rock crawling and other hardcore stuff, i'd say get something more tested, like RE or OME.

although, since there arent too many poeple that have run mako products (i am assuming), then it will just take time for people to buy it and test it out on the trails for themselves... for the price, it may be worth testing it out for yourself...

Mako is a good local outfit here. The guy is a supporter of (donated many items to our Intermountain Chapter Moab event last month) and a Cherokee enthusiast too. If you ever have any problems with what he sells, let him know and he'll take care of it.

Might just have to be a guinea pig on this one. Still looking around though. Won't be used for any rockcrawling just street,moderate trails and mud. Good customer service is definatly a plus in my book...

Good is not what his service is, Excellent is closer but still not an accurate description. I don't think I have received service quite as good anywhere else. The service was outstanding, it wasn't their fault I had more gas pedal than brains.

Something strange about a suspension company named after something that lives in the water.... just strange....

Anyhow, if anyone takes the plunge, keep us posted. I know everyone is always looking for a deal!
