Suzuki Grand Vitara Lift Kit Install

2003 suzuki grand vitara lift kitIf you fit the poly spring spacers all round you will also need to fit 1.5' front strut spacers and 2' rear strut spacers. As was said above, with those mods as i have said, you DO NOT need the front axle drop brackets. IF you lift it further you will need front axle drop brackets... Also as said above about camber bolts... i dont use them...yet(explained bellow)... you could see that my tyres were a tiny bit like this... --0--/ but for offroad use it wasnt worth correcting it as it was so small. But you can always perform the lift, as above, and then see wether you think you need the camber blots or not? This route will give you between 1.5 and 2' of lift which is very uselful and isnt too radical.
I have been running the orange poly spring spacers, 1.5' front and 2' rear shock spacers, all from Bits4Vits (Dave, the owner of the business is an amazingly helpful guy with masses of knowledge so A*** to him ). I have had that lift for approx. 2 years now with heavy offroading and I have had no problems as yet... TOUCH WOOD!!
Coincidentally i am lifting mine higher (why i will now need camber bolts) using Grand Vitara Springs and the orange poly spring spacers and 2.25' front strut spacers(home made by cutting the 1.5' ones and re-wending with bigger plates ) and rear heim spacer(home made) and front axle drop brackets ( home made again, you need the drop brackets when you are going higher than just the spring spacers... So as a general rule, if your going over a 2' lift your gunna need drop brackets...) Also i would advise with any lift, wheel spacers or offset wheels to give you i wider stance so that you are more stable because lifting it does lift your center of mass meaning u could potentially roll easier!!
Although you could just fit grand vitara springs without the orange poly spring spacers, WITH the 1.5' strut spacers and 2' rear strut spacers... the GV springs will cost you about £120 but you can then sell the normal springs to get some money back? This would give you a useable 1.5-2' lift?
In my lift i am performing, i am fitting extended rear shocks so the 2' rear shock spacers are now up for sale... they are these ones shown here... http://www.bits4vits.co.uk/store/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=37
There are in useable condition. Reasonable offers, PM me
ALSO, a full set of standard suzuki vitara springs are for sale,good condition... Again, Reasonable offers, PM me
I hope all this helps clear up the confusion..
