Intro

[Pom]

Good day,
Just bought an off-roader a bit more capable than my Suby wagon. It's a '97 Suzuki Vitara 4 cyl 2L 3dr (ex Auz) to be used for fishing / hunting / & the occasional field trip with who ever is going.
I want to do a body & suspension lift, & bigger boolies. Nothing drastic.
Live & breath in Richmond, Nelson.
Cheers.
Nick.

Welcome to ORE. Someone here will help you sort out your Zuk.

Welcome.

Do a search for cheap lifts for vitara (from a while back) and it gives lots of possible combos to do the job and suspension tricks.

Heres a taster

tonnes of stuff in the suzuki section.

Will post a bit more detail tomorrow. The vehicle has come with some body lift spacers, some spring spacers & some boolies.
The wheels/tyres:
16" steel wheels fitted with Firestone Firehawk RMT 225/75R16 - 110/107Q - 8 ply.
The other bits I will measure & post details.
Thanks.

Welcome to the site, Leigh (Ineil) is the man to talk to about your Zuk. He is in Richmond too, as am I.

Body lift spacers = 51mm.
Suspension spacers = 51mm.
Wishbones on this model are cast, so not sure how to extend, or if strut cam bolts can be used instead.
Thanks for any advice.
