i drive a 95 stock suzuki sidekick. i want to lift it a little partly for looks and partly to fit slightly bigger tires on it. no real offroading in mind, just a few camping trails which i can take on as is. so im looking for a cheap and hopefully easy to install lift of some sort. any ideas?
thanks

Spacer lift is nice and easy.  I run GV springs in the front and 1" spring spacer in the rear and some Toyo 235/75R15 tires and some 1" wheel spacers.  I do need a Strut spacer though, as I have almost no down travel. 

I used to run a 3/4" spacer up front but I found the ride to be a little stiffer then I liked, so I swapped to springs.  It's a lot softer ride then running with spacers, which is what I wanted in a DD.  With a sway bar in the rear it handles great.

Serious? You find the GV springs to be softer than the stock spring w/ spacers??

Let the mods begin.  I went the same route as Drone637, and appreciate the improved ride of springs over spacers.  Jeff makes good spacers, and we use them to level with (now).

I found them quite a bit softer in the front, especially over poorly maintained freeways and Seattle side roads.  Same as BRD HNTR, who is running a set of cut down OME XL7 lift springs.

The rear was a bit to stiff as well, but I am also running an anti-sway bar to help keep down body roll.  I switched to some Bilsteins in the rear and that softened up the ride quite a bit.  I'm waiting until the engine swap to put the new Bilstein struts up front, I expect that will smooth the ride up even further.

Having done both I would go straight for springs if I had the money.  Otherwise spacers do the job just fine.  That is why we both still run them in the rear.
