due to bigger tires i need to lift the vitara, and cut some guards :D

im not doing a body lift, will cause to much fuss and i think they look untidy.

any way, and one have some springs laying around to measue the inside diameter so i can make some spacers? not going to pay 100 dollars for a 12 dollar peice of nylon.

cheers jordan

I'd say a body lift is tidier and less fuss than cutting guards, but each to their own.

I reckon body work is a time consuming PITA.

X2 on that.

either that or lift it properly... spring spacers will only limit your flex.

I have spacers fitted - 30mm
If you like I can measure them
They would be easy enough to make out of steel or alloy
But check eBay , there only like &50 or so
Personally I'd change springs and go they right way
First and flip the strut top and see how much room you have.
