So I've finally taken the plunge and installed a budget coil spacer lift kit, and some new to me tires.

The lift is Jeff's lift kit, and the tires are a used set of 245/75R16 BFG A/T

For the lift, new shocks, and tires, my total investment at this point is around $500

Just a word of warning to anyone living in an area where rust may be a factor...  installing the lift turned out to be a MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS.  Just about every nut and or bolt needed to be cut, or it broke.  I'll bet 20-30 hours went into installing the kit easy.  Most places won't run into this much rust, as here where I live (Newfoundland, Canada) they use salt on the roads all winter and it really takes a toll on our rigs.

Now that it's all done however, it was well worth it.  Jeff's kit is a really nice kit for the money and I'd highly recommend it.

The tires barely fit though, so it looks like I'll need to do some cutting/trimming or install 1-2" of body lift (considering a hockey puck lift).

I don't have any pics of the process, but I do have some before and after pics to share.

Can't wait to take it off road...

Looks great. I've got some BFG A/Ts I need to put on my wheels, too.

Just got home from some off roading... it's a completely different rig now.

When I got the tires installed, they put too much air in them for the little Suzuki though (around 35psi).  Felt like I was driving around with concrete tires or something.  I dropped the air down to around 25psi, which is much better.

Now to fix the camber and get a wheel alignment.

Looks GREAT. Thanks so much for the compliments and kind words.

Looks good man.

I hear ya on the rust.  5 years ago I put a lift on a '03 GV that had spent it's then two year life in Michigan.  Two winters...and the amount of seized shit was amazing.  Highly frustrating.

My Tracker came from Indiana and they salt there so I'm quietly hoping my upcoming front end work goes better than I fear.

looks awesome.

love the meaty looking 245's!

Thanks samuraidan, I'm getting some tire rub, but I like the look as well...

Good Luck AJMBLAZER, I hope your install goes easier than mine...
