Not sure, But I have heard that over two inch lift will stretch your brake lines on full droop!

Are you gonna be at Sibby again soon. I managed to get my vit up and running again!

Is it worth all the work and expence?
Will it really perform that much better?
The winch bumper needs stronger springs for the extra weight
Remember it will come in handy even if you never use it

hi, well it would be an extra 1.5  inch of lift taking me to 3.5 inchs i have read that 3 is about the max recomended for a vitara but i thought with the weight of the winch and bumper it would come back down to 3 ". as for stronger springs does anyone know witch springs would fit and how much differance does it give .
