Re: 31's on a vitara
That model is usually referred to as a Grand Vitara. From what I have read 225/75/16 will fit standard with no rubbing, 245/75/16 will fit with a lift but do rub slightly. There are very few aftermarket rims that will fit due to lack of brake caliper clearance. Not true....... I have a GV and yes ...

Re: Suzuki Grand Vitara XL-7 Searches :(
To reduce the timing chain / lifter noise make sure you use the correct grade of oil and a genuine Suzuki oil filter.........
My GV was noisy until I started using the factory filter. Nice and quiet now.

I run 225/75/16 and they measure the same diaas your 245/70/16. Just not as wide. They just touch the chasis on full lock under compression. The next tyres i will be getting will be 245/75/16.

Re: biggest tyre for XL7
If you remove your mud flaps and trim away some plastic inside the wheel arch you can fit 245/75/16. They will rub slightly on the front on full lock but that can be adjusted out with steering stops.

Re: i keep bending drag links! wt sierra
I bent one in my sierra and i wasnt even trying to do anything stupid. The original ones were made of a heavy wall tube. New replacement ones are alot thinner and bend really easy. Not sure what ones you have been using.
Sleeving it or welding on some 40mm angle would not do it any harm.

Re: coily vs leaf
RUF can be used for more than just extending the wheelbase. I did it to soften up the ride. Plus an added benifit is longer springs flex better giving more articulation. Noteveryone is as confident with a welder so chasis extension is not always an option.

Re: coily vs leaf
If you redrill the rear mount for the front springs (25mm back and 10mm up) and run a longer shackle you can. But drilling the mount may not be legal. Doing it this way will leave the diff in its stock position.

You can run the standard sierra booster and fit a subi forrester master. This is already set for disc rear and has a 1 1/18 bore. sierra only has a 7/8 bore. the only thing you need to do is get the booster pushrod the right length and bend the brakelines into the right positions.
