engine:1.6 24v

and everyhting else it pretty much stock besides airfilter and fog lights and interior accesroies.

so my questions are is 1.) how well does the ifs and stock rear axel hold up with 32''?or 31''s. should i get axel upgrades or should i be ok? i think i should but all i can afford is lift and cheap hand me down tires. 2.)is whats the best or more say whats the most all around better combo or single lift?i dont do rock crawling or much mud, not deep mud, mostley all terrian trails like an excursion competition.thanks:)

Thats a lot of valves for a 1.6. Driveline strength is debatable, there are people that drive for years without breaking anything and others that continuously trash the front diff and shafts. A lot of it is down to driving style. If you want big diameter tyres for ground clearance but don't want to put too much strain on the transmission you could try and source some GV wheels and run 235/85/16s. You'll need a bodylift and suspension lift and you might want to do the Hagen widening too to get some more clearance on the rear of the front arches.

Screw body lifts. This topic is literally re-hashed several times a month. Please do a little searching & ask specific questions in threads that have already been started. It will keep the information from getting diluted. Here's a good place to start: http://www.zukiworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=24002.0

Don't do body lift.   Jeff's coil spacers are WAY better.
