Well here is the GV with 2" BL and boondox coilspacers. Sitting on 30" MT. Had to cut alot off the front wheel wells and some body so it would not rub in reverse at full lock....still does a little. I might add some new springs later and i'll put on the manual locking hubs next.

how big are the spacers?
and why is your back end saging if the spacers are the same hight?
i have 31"mtrs on my gv and didnt do any cuting. i only rub at full crank on the frame rail.... with a 2" body lift, and what i call a 3" susp lift but i only used a 1.5" spacer in the front,
you should fit 30's just fine...... even more so with your front bumper cover off....

Please post a pic of your gv!

you need to add another spacer in the back to get it level or a lift spring... you get probably 2 -2.25 inches in front at least with that spacer. didn't i mention this 10 times before!?!? ::)
-
The back end is sagging because I'm not on flat ground. It does not look like that on the pavement. I have 1.5 inch spring spacers front and rear so the back is probably only a 1/4" to 1/2" difference. I might be rubbing because of all my backspacing to fit the rims. They only rub in reverse. Please post some pics and some stats on your GV.
-
I just did some measuring and the rear is a 1/4" lower.
-
As long as your happy mate, but it can be seen quite clearly that there is a big difference
front to rear and it not surprising if you've used the same spacer all 'round because the
front springs are mechanically disadvantaged nearly 2:1 hence why they are so much thicker
and shorter than rear springs.

Don't bug me none. I plan to get a new bumper and winch eventually which will level it out. This is not my main vehicle for offroading, just a work in progress. You can only do so much to these vehicles and even then the capabability still does not match other vehicles out there. Suzuki just does not care about their offroad market anymore so they keep producing less capable vehicles. I knew before I started that same size spacers make the front end higher, it's pre-runner style ;D
-
Hey, no worries buddy its your car.
Must be one kick-ass winch :-X ;D
-
Most winches and winch plates are around 100 lbs, add the weight of a new bumper, and throw in a little gravity. :P ;D
-
i'm not putting your rig down, do whatever you want with it.
-
I know, no offence taken. It will be level eventually. The back only took like 45 minutes to do so I'll put a different spacer in next week.
-
I see people say they are running 30 or 31 inch tires.... what is a 245/75R16 considered? According the tire size calculators they are 30.5 but I'm guessing people are rounding one way or the other?
-
245/75R16 works out to about 31x9.5R16. Generally they are a little taller than your standard 31x10.5R15 and about an inch narrower.
