Hello,
Can anyone suggest a lift kit for a SWB 92 VITARA?
My sister bought one a couple of months back and would like to put some bigger rubber under it.Only has 215/80r 15 @ the moment and would like to go up one size if possible?
Whats the biggest she should go before she has to change ratio's?
The original springs are cactus so any help would be great!
Thanks

LIFTING A VITARA??
Hey Wolf!
Funny you should post... I'm doing a 2" Body Lift this weekend on a '92 Vitara SWB. No kits, just stuff I had some help finding around Melbourne. I'll try and post pics and details on how to do. From what I've heard here a million and one times is..2" is alright..3" is a F***ING PAIN!
I'll let you know how it goes.

shouldn't just a suspension lift (a bit over 2") be enough for 235/75/15 or 30x9.5x15?
a 3" B/L is a pain, you need to extend: fuel filler hose, some brake lines, steering shaft, transfer and gear shifters, and on efi, air box hose.
thats all ok, but its actually getting the lift blocks in thats real bad, for a 3" block, you need to lift the body off the chassis about double (6") to get the blocks in and on the studs. this means disconnecting a few things that don't need extending. for a 2", its only 4" or so off the chassis.
and when doing body lifts for more than 2", try, if possible, to lift the body off the chassis all at once keeping the body level. lifting one side at a time more than 2"-3" can bend the studs on the other side.
