Escudo suspension lift

Post by bigbear »

Hi, wanting to put a 2inch suspension lift in my 97 3 door 2.0l. Not wanting to use calmini though. Has anyone had any experience with OME coils and shocks or king springs or is there another brands out there for this model?

For two inches lift all you need are longer springs and shocks, plus camber adjustment bolts. Try Lovells, they make a great extended rear shock for the 'zuk that is valved close to factory rate. It allows just over two inches more extension and you only lose about 1/2 inch compression. They also do good springs. For the front, flipping the strut-hat will allow for two inches.

hi.
i got some c33 nissan laurel rear springs, VN commodore rear springs and some VK commodore rear airshocks. all from TM or scrapyards.
they all fit fine and give decent lift (search for 'cheap vitara lift' in suzuki to get more information).
the other good thing with the airshocks is you can alter the pressure when you go on/off road for a comfier ride. 8)
only cost me $140 for everything i think. maybe $160 tops. :D
hope this helps.

Thanks for replys found Low Range Off Road site to be cheaper than Rocky-Road. Not wanting to offend anybody on here but its a $7000 truck so dont want to go putting any odd parts on just cause it fits would rather spend a bit more and get a specific part designed for it.
