old tracker/sunrunner lift on a vitara?
« on: January 21, 2012, 10:20:30 PM »
hi i just got lucky and bought a 2002 vitara (not the grand) for 500$, i did new rockers for it and front brake pad and passed safety inspection :)

my question is, is the old tracker/sunrunner/asuna lift kit fit a vitara? i wonder this as i can have billet aluminum coil spacers and strut spacers for cheap. but wonder if they are the same size, specially the 3 holes strut studs.

and also will 30-9.5-15 tires fit on my vitara without a lift? if not will the 2" suspension clear it good? i beleve the 15" rims will fit as its not a "grand" vitara?

strut spacers wont fit. different bolt pattern. coil spacers should fit, (i have grand vitara coil on my 90 kick) and have 2" spacers for a 1st gen waiting to go in.

that answer my biggest concern thanks, and another thing is can i do the strut mount flip? cause i got the big strut bar on top and dont know what to do with it. i have also heard of chevy exaust flange on the strut mount, is that for older trackers or newer?

the chevy flange cant be used on the newer kicks. they dont have the equal spaced 3 bolt pattern. will need a custom strut spacer or you buying the aftermarket strut spacers for a 2nd gen

i got way lucky on that buy for sure, i have patched the rocker panels,put on new front brake pads,both driver side door handles and a flange gasket for the exaust, on the road switch to my name,new safety sticker and the price included dosent reach me a 1000$ lol. i heard jeff you sell lift kits, can you give me prices? michel_bouch1|removethispart|@hotmail.com

i am now debating on super swampers tires,either 27" or 28" witch one is closer from stock size? i am thinking 28" would be the best with the 2" lift. i don't want too much of a big tire as the 2.0L motor is not really powerful on highway speeds.but am willing to go a size or two bigger.

The strut spacers and rear coil spacers are different. Take a look at SR CUSTOMS for a complete lift or lift parts: http://www.srcustoms.ca/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=8&Itemid=56

nice, but i did just bought a set of jeff1997 lift. cant beat his price. i am thinking of a body lift but that is alot of work to put it in. i am now figuring what size of tire to put in. i now have 215/65/16 (stock) i am thiking 235/75/15 or equvalent in 16"rims.
