that camber thing can can be fixed w/ camber adjusting bolts.
i used ones made by Specialty Products Company#81250 from my local Brake Supply Shop.
I've been working over my front wheel wells to stop these 31x10.5's on 8" rimsfrom rubing a little and think a litte carefull hammering is gonna do for me. they touch a tad in the rear and i'm slowly working that out also.
i only did a slight lift to avoid buying anything, and i'm going to run it this waythru the next fishing season.

Great responses!  I like the tube hammered through idea alot better than putting in a patch piece.  Probably much stronger.  Can you get that size at any steel supply place and do they typically know what you are talking about when you say sc 40.  Google told me there is a sc80 that is the same outside dimensions with a thicker wall as well. 

The camber bolts are the ones that stick through the struts right?  I remember seeing some of those and they weren't too expensive.  Do they have to be specific to the sidekick or are they pretty universal?  Appreciate all the help!

   There are several vendors that sell camber adjusting bolts. A few are sponsors of this site. Here is a link to a video that walks you through the process of changing the bolts and adjusting the camber.

   I got this link from a previous thread on this site. This means there is more information available on this subject. Use the search function on this site to look up old threads on this topic. Happy hunting.

Thanks for the link.  I ordered two sets tonight from rocky road outfitters.  I wasn't sure if a single pair would be enough and the shipping was about the same for two pair.  Always easier to not use a pair than need another.  :^)  Any of you put on a body lift on a old rusted kick/tracker?  If so did you have studs snap or body mounts that are too far gone to work with?  The floor on this one was rotted out in the rear and when cut it out I noticed an unattched rubber mount in the area above  the rear axle.  I assume this was a body mount (there wasn't one on the other side left).  So no mount there on mine but has them in far back under the tailgate.  I am not gonna tackle a body lift until summer.  I am sure the floor damage was due to the old soft top.  When the snow melted the other day I noticed it was leaking through the holes that the thread weaves through.  I have a new top on order.  Anyone have a link to a tutorial on how the tops go on and off?  Probably the new top with come with instructions but just in case.  I see how it snaps over and so forth but during summer when you pull the top does it completely remove with the metal framing?  If so what are you guys using to store your top? 

A couple of answers for you.

The pipe size is 1 1/4" if that cross member is the same dia. as the Sammy has. I installed one in the front crossmember of my Zuki when I built my front bumper.

And for your question on the soft top, check out http://www.suzukiinfo.com/ you need to go too 1995 Suzuki Sidekick Owners Manual, it will give you all the info you need on your soft top.

I just measured mine with digital calipers and the inside diameter is 1.7" and the outside is 1.95 or so.  The specs I saw on the sc40 steel had an outside diameter of 1.5"  That would leave me to believe there would be a little slop unless the factory welds eat up some of that space. 

Thanks for the link on the top.  I will definately check that out.

Just saw another chart that showed 1 1/4 pipe inside diameter pipe has a outside diameter of around 1.66" so that I am sure is the ticket. 

   spyder0069,

   The rear body mounts are at the very rear of the vehicle, just in front of rear bumper. In the rear bed area there are a couple of rubber discs that are sandwiched between the body and frame. There are no bolts at these locations, the body rests on the frame.

Do you guys remove your swaybar on your sidekicks when you go wheelin?  If so have you come up with a good fast method to do so?

Take it off and throw it away, There is very little difference in handling between a kick with a sway bar and one without one. I have not had one on lil Suzy for 12 years.

re: sway bar
i have been experimenting with the bar disconnected (clipped the links to the bar w/ coat hanger) only on the street. i can feel the difference as the front works more independently and a little more body roll on turning, but seems stable. i'm leaving it unhooked (the bar/links touch tie rods when flexed) while i decide, and may remove it later.
"body lift"
i used some heavy rubber quarry conveyor belt material for spacers - 3/8" thick - to put between the body and the frame and to replace that bottom dognut with. same material on frame for those non bolted places. seems firm, all lines/wires/hoses fit except drivers side brake line thru the wheel well, which i slotted to drop that clip mount thingy |removethispart|@ 1". lifted 1 1/8".
i know that's not much, but i didn't want to jack it up too much (yet?) and my wheels mostly fit..........

We had a good snow last night (probably 3-5 inches) and we had to drive 35 miles to a friends house so we took the suzuki.  Even with two 70lb sandbags in the back I was having a tough time keeping up with cars.  Anything over 25mph and it would get real squirly.  I had the 235's aired down to 30 psi (the max psi is 42 maybe I should be going lower than 30?).  The short wheelbase definately took some extra attention.  Every rut in the snow the sidekick jumped in and followed.  :^)  We passes several cars in the ditch on the way home.  This thing is a tank up to about 15mph.  I had a couple of explorers ect that blew past me when they got a chance.  Just for kicks (no pun intended) I put it in 2wd when we got there and forget about it.  I wouldn't have taken the vehicle a block if it was a 2wd version.  I am not sure if a different tire besides the AT's would make a big difference.  Do mud tires work well in the snow too?  Mostly the issue was with the back end spinning and sliding out.  Why is it that the fronts don't spin out like the rears?  

I am wondering if I disconnected the sway bar and got in a accident if the insurance company would still cover me?

whats the minimum strength winch you guys would use to for a sidekick?
