Hi-steer

... or apparently you can use a drag link from a SJ80 (coily) Sierra and the steering link adapter off a 126 (very common model from the 1980's) Mercedes, which then bolts on to your lower strut where the brake caliper is.

I don't have a link off the top of my head, but I'm sure its been covered in the Sierra bible.
1998 Vitara Hard Top 2.0 EFI
65mm springs (by Allsprings)
35mm body lift
Rancho RS9000's
235's on 15in alloys
Flipped strut mounts

Or get snake racing High Steer, I found it to be the best way in the end as part of getting engineered and rego.

I added in a extra bit of block to the passenger bump stop just as a precaution but so far it is so much better to drive and I had power steering to start with and it is now so much better
