Will you be selling components ala carte.  Say...a panhard bracket and proportioning valve extension?  Otherwise, good looking stuff.

A little off topic, but what size wheels and tires are those on the red Tracker?

Nice looking kit! Newbie here, will have pics up soon. Figure I'de ask my question here and give the thread a bump in the process. Is the new camber setting built, (hard) into this kit? Basically can I bolt it all together and have the correct camber like the red Tracker pictured or do I have to buy camber bolts, oval some holes, have it aligned or some combination of these other things? By the way, I'm planning on using 3" square tube stock to extend my shock mounts when I lift. Trying to keep it cheap...

To get the camber correct all you will need is a set of camber adjusting bolts.

I tried the RR camber bolts and they were almost able to correct my camber..  Not enough though, the truck rode horrible and was starting to wear the tires uneven.  Ended up slotting the holes anyways.  Much better now.

I use EZ CAM camber bolts and I have never had to slot the strut yet.

Mud Child,

do you know if 1991 suzuki sidekick 4dr springs will give me any lift on my 99 vitara? I would like alittle more lift than what your spacer kit will give me without doing the body lift and I have the 4door springs laying around.

Grand Vit front springs (years ???) and 80s-90s Heep Cherokee rears springs plus this 2" spacer kit should net you around 3" lift.

The rear may be a little higher though as I've only heard of this combo on a 4D Vit/tracker.

The 91 rear springs are larger in diameter and will not fit into the coil buckets on your truck. If you lift your suspension more than 2" you will need to lower the front diff housing as the CV will be running on to steep of an angle. You might also want to consider longer trailing arms as the rear wheel will be moved forward in the rear wheel well as you add lift. I offer a 4" lift combo which is my 2" suspension lift plus my 2" body lift for $525 This will easily allow you to run a 31" tire which in all honesty is all these trucks can handle before you start breaking parts.

What is the actual height of your strut spacer? Can you say if it is taller than the Calmini spacer that comes with their lift kits? (I have the Calmini spacer on but looking for a little extra down travel on the front end. Also have on diff drop brackets)

The spacers in my kit are 2" to match the lift, I can custom make you a set to what ever height you like.
