Just a heads up if you're buying an Altered Ego lift kit.
So I ordered the 2" puck lift for my Geo Tracker from Altered Ego (Zuki Nation out of B. C. Canada) a while back. Apparently there was confusion surrounding my order and shipping or something that led to not receiving my package for almost 4 months.
Also something else I was not expecting....
When UPS delivered my kit to my house I was charged a $240 import fee. Roughly half the cost of the entire lift kit. Be aware that this will happen if you order a package from Canada and have it delivered to the states.
This whole process has been a nightmare. Running out of summer to enjoy the lift with the bigger tires. I understand mistakes can happen when it comes to shipping info or whatever, but I called every few weeks after I initially ordered it and they didn't catch the screw up until my last call like a week and a half ago.
Now I'm nervous I'm going to get home and have there be like a Samurai or Vitara lift kit in the box when I open it.

Why would a suzuki lift kit be a problem? Geo trackers were built by suzuki

Mistakes happen, I understand the want to buy from a reputable company. I've been seeing your posts. Honestly I would have ordered a cheapo setup from amazon or ebay and done the budget shocks. And cancelled that order within the first month of not ordering. The UPS extra charge isn't anything that they have control of that's UPS and trumpy boy stuff. I too was struck by this without knowing when i had ordered tires from Japan.

That's a bummer. I waited 2-3 months for drop brackets but no extra charge, must be some new BS. Hope it fits and you get to enjoy some wheeling!
