VITARA Nudge Bars and suspension, need help

[monkeyplex]

Hey guys.

Ive got a 1990 SWB vitara soft top. Where do nudge bars actually attach to the chassis? Under the rails, or on the inside of the rails or outside of the rails?

Also does anyone know where i can get a set of coil spacers for my vitara? Im from victoria so the closer the better.

Any help is muchly appreciated, bloody victoria is useless for finding places with suzuki gear.

I had a nudge bar on mine will see if I still have some pics of it from under the car.
Mine just used u bolts fitted to the round bar at the front.

Go to NBS forum and get a set of coil spacers from Bruce postage will not be to much.

my bar is a bit different but if you can get some under car pictures that would be great.

heres a pic of it

sorry here it is

It's actually a bull bar i guess. There are two holes on each side the holes are drilled east west, horizontally which means they must go into the sides of the chassis rails. Are there any holes there?

Couldn't find a pics of the nudge bar fitting points but here is a pic of where the ARB bolts up and the nudge bar used the same bar.

Another option for coil spacers are TJ Jeep spacers. ARB even do them in a 10mm size so you can just rack 'em and stack 'em to get what you want. I have used 2 together for a 20mm lift. There are others around too. The Rancho guys up in Sydney do mail order and I think they have a couple of different options available. I take it that if you are wanting to put 1"-1.5" spacers in, that you have considered what you are doing about the length of your struts and shocks?

Thanks for that photo suzuki boy, that gives me some ideas.

Cj, i didn't plan on changing my shocks or struts at all. Is that going to be a problem?, the springs are probably and inch shorter than they originally were.
