That's pretty good. It's going to take most of a day.

$70 and hour at least, say 6 hours, $420. I'd say you are about right.

For a suzuki nut, it would take alot less time as you know exactly how everything works. May be you could put a post in the wanted section asking for someone to help fit a body lift and put up a price somewhere in the middle of $0 and $450 + beer. Is the kit a 'Just Cruizin' kit?

even for the not mechanically minded its not a mission. you surely could do it yourself if you take your time. Zook bodylifts are probably the simplest you will come across. Have any mates that are into 4bys? where abouts are you located?

have a read through the instructions when you get it and follow them on that car. find the bits and pieces it talks about and you will get a pretty good idea of how simple it really is.

Just Cruzin's bodylift kit is piss easy to fit and the instructions were easy to follow. Make sure you get a steering spacer off him as well. I've never done a Sierra one before and it took me all of about 3 hours with a trolley jack. Only thing I still have to do is remove the rubber boots over the gear sticks and modify them as it slips out of 2nd,4th and low range

Does Just Cruz'in do body lift kits for Grand Vitara's 99 LWB? If so where can I get one and how much should I pay?
I've done the usual google searches and have come up with nothing.
Not worried about having it fitted, I'll do that myself, just cant seem to find a good kit.

Sold out of Vitara's at the moment, I had an issue with bolt threads not being correct but it will be sorted early next week.

i wouldn't fit a body lift unless you are going bigger that 31" wheels. just do a bit of trimming if they are under 31's.

don't know how the coily sits so this might not work.

I should be fitting a 2" body lift to my 99 LWB GV in the next few weeks,
I'll take some pics and write some instructions for you all.
Will be more pics than instructions though. A picture tells a thousand words.
