Hey Fellas,
Doing the run arounds taking my car into many different shops getting quoted for a Body Lift to be installed. Not one shop i have been to has installed a body lift on anything other than a toymotor.
Does anyone know somebody or somewhere who has done it on a suzuki? Even if it was just a fella on here who wants a cashy!
Thanks in Advance, Cheers

Get a proper kit and do it yourself. Takes about 2 hours if ya in no rush.

It took me longer than 2 hours but if you know what you're doing 2 hours could be possible. Can lend a hand if you need it.

Give it a nudge yourself. It not usually the lift itself that is the problem, but addressing all the things it changes. What model suzuki is it?

From what you PM'd me, I'd be DIYing that BL.
He's feeding his expanding family for the next few weeks on that.

honestly man, just do it yourself. its extremely simple and easy. basic tools and a one man job if you've got basic basic mechanical knowledge.
