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.

don't expect any more than 20-30mm, contact Kings Springs on the gold coast they've done springs for one

$219 US for the kit. Pretty good.

Obviously tyre size is going to make a big contribution here as well.

New coils all round
Longer front struts
New rear shocks $750

your thinking of the previous model, as the new model is fully independent suspention and has macferson struts at every corner

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.

The last grand vitara 05/06 was strut front & beam rear suspension
