Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My suggestion is to have a look at all the posts on auszookers, here is a link to one of them.

Yes you can swap your alloy for the steel, I am doing that myself as we speak. I am ordering an ARB RD88 for the front diff and ...

Been there done that as well, what you need is vitara 5.12 diff centres.
Forget about the tranfer, I even tried to have some engenieered but no-one was interested.

Mate, you will also need vitara diff centres.
I am just doing the same thing at the moment.
You might want to do some searches on www.auszookers.com.au
there is plenty on it all for you to read.

Cheers, thanks for that.

Greg,
Cant seem to be able to add pics here and not sure if your looking for just Vits or GV's as well, so check this link and you'll get pics there but only if you login.
Anyway, it is your body Lift kit.

Be careful and choose wisely!!! Look around at everything and then make your conclusions.
I got told that this could not be done,

Obviously it can. It all depends on how far you want to go.

Yes, the whole lot. After market Springs, Struts, shocks, 30mm Coil spacers front and rear, 50mm extentions front and rear + a 2" body lift.
An overall lift in all 4 corners of 4" (100mm) Level. You dont need a drive shaft spacer but you do need steering link extenders, longer diff breather, and I'm ...

Suspension Lift.

Suspension Lift.

no chain pulling just some helpful advice on how to get along on this site

If this little episode sends you away I'd suggest you may want to stay away form the internet lots of nasty people just waiting to pounce.

But anyway I'd say you should stay as you have some good tech on the GVs and ...

LOL this great!!


but to mention i supplied 30mm lifted coils for the front of a 2004 GV LWB and a 10mm coil spacer and the funny thing is it went up 50mm!!

I have also supplied 35mm spacers for the front of an XL7 and it went up 60mm so if you fitted 30mm spacers to the front and got only 30mm i ...

If there are any moderators out there, you need to start up a Grand Vitara designated forum within the Suzuki area. Just like the real Forum Sites.

you really need to learn how to play nicely with the other kids.

Come on a bag the forum as not being a real site isn't a good start.

Mouthing off ...

Joe,

That's where I was taking my measurements from until I did some further research to find out that from factory the GV sits higher in the front than in the rear. So unless the Info I have been given by Suzuki is wrong, then the industry standard does not apply to GV's.
I am willing to be ...

Incorrect, it only gives you 30mm of lift. Strut extentions only give you more drop, not lift. The coil spacers give you the lift. I know this because I did this to my own GV 3 weeks ago. Then add a 2" suspension lift, and a 2" body lift and as an overall lift you gain 4" (100mm).

30mm coil ...

So if anyone is looking to buy one, I have this one for sale!!!!

Gotcha

Thanks for that.

Also, what is a half cut?

Thanks for that.

If your going to go to the trouble of pulling your springs out and put in strut spacers (which does give you more travel) then while your at it, I would highly recommend some 30mm coil spacers as well, if it is a LWB.
Not sure what size you would need for a SWB.

Hey Bendev,

Where did you get the snorkel?
That looks like if fits just nice.

Thanks Bendev, you have just saved me a stack of cash. I'll post some pics when the job is done.[/code]

Can anyone tell me what the wheel offset is for a 99 GV LWB and also the stud patern measurement eg: 5 on 5.5 etc.
I have done the usual searches and all I have found is jibberish and not clear. if you have any knowledge, please be precise and clear.

Thanks Bendev,
With your 32mm spacers all round, did it sit level or did you have to adjust other stuff, as I have been told I should be putting in 15mm front and 30mm rear, this is on my 99 GV LWB but looking at your pics, yours looks just fine to me, also did you or have you found all of the other ...

I was wondering, where did you get your coil spacers and what size did you use in both the front and the rear.. Nice Rig.

So firstly, thanks to all that have left me some feedback wheather it be constructive critercism or illegal advice, Still... Constructive,

But.... TheOtherLeft..... Might want to load your slug gun and have a target before you start shooting from the hip....

So you've looked at the thread posting ...

might have to pull out the trusty angle grinder and find out and combind that with a smaller wheel spacer of maybe 5-10mm.

they only miss by about 10-15 mm, would wheel spacers do the trick or is there a better way?

trying to figure out different ways of fitting 15" sunnies onto my GV.
I took the advice of someone on here that 15x8 F100 sunnies will fit, so I bought some.....Dont fit do they.....so I was thinking that if I put smaller rotors and callipers on then they will fit.
