one more thing, on your struts they are at there weakest point at full extension, if you were to put limiting straps on them that would be the easyest and cheapest way to make them stronger.

Start by getting rid of the stock wimpy
struts and put in some KYB Gas struts,
you would be amazed at how much the
bigger struts help

I have already OME installed for almost two years  .

lets say that I don't have much left in my vitara that I can to upgrage  ;) 8)


maybe to 31" tires from my 29 " MTR(goodyear) that I have now will be installed after some body-lift ( I didn't  want a body lift till now  - because it dosn't help much for off-road and has some disadvantage as I guess  You know - like car  stability because the center of gravity is getting higher )

My OME struts  are to soft for me , what brand / model of struts can You advice on ?
I prefer something that can be adjust (like the ranch 9000 I have in the rear ) .

My stock struts were gas. I think that maybe the early ones weren't. Koni do inserts for the stock struts, I think they're adjustable. They only list them for the early models and I assumed that was because only the early ones had non-gas struts and you have to cut the old struts to put the inserts in.

My KYBs have bigger tubes than stock, and
have a bigger shaft for increased strength

Gas Charged for better oil control and I think
would be a good replacement for stockers
