ok. ive read up that the springs out of a grand vitara will give me 2 inches of lift. but im unsure if both front and rears will fit.

im also wondering what to do for a strut spacer. ive heard exhaust flanges work but for what? small block chev, etc? i want to get it spaced down an inch plus doing the strut flip. to get it all working right.

You can find some other questions over at the faq at http://www.zukiworld.com/forum/technical-discussion-beginner-repair/faq-topic-index/

I run the Grand Vit springs in the front of mine, I like them better then the coils but they are still a bit stiffer then the OME springs.  A set of cut down XL7 springs might be nice, as they are lighter then the Grand Vit springs by a few pounds so will soak up bumps a bit more.

If you want to give the coil spacers a try, give a shout to Jeff on this board.

You could just buy the one I make. It includes 2-1.5" coil spacers for the front, 2-2" for the rear and 2-1.5" strut spacers and all hardware needed for $140 to the US or $155 to Canada. You will need longer rear shocks also.

im compairing 60 bucks for the gv springs, to 170 plus duty for the spacers. i have a steel front bumper with a winch to go on the front. im also looking at these springs for something simple, thats now. i want to pickup th OME kit sometime in the future so the least amount of money spent on stuff im going to replace later on the better.

if i do go with your kit jeff, will i be able to get it shipped here in under 2 weeks? i gotta get this truck up in the air for a local suzuki meet at the end of the month.

I would love to say yes but the USPS is not the fastest to you guys sometimes. Most guys on ebay get their stuff in 7 days but it can take longer.
