All Independant suspension designs can be lifted to some degree.


For such a new car I'd be looking for something as unobtrusive as possible - which means IMHO coil spacers and bigger rubber.

Obviously tyre size is going to make a big contribution here as well.
This is not legal advice.

They need to learn how to convert metric, a 265/75R16 tyre doesn't equal a 33x12.5

Strange that the rocky road suspension kit for the 2006 vitara doesnt have mcpherson struts rear.....


The SWB is a substantially different vehicle - no transfer case for instance - it may have mcphersons all round I havent checked.
