they replace the transfer gears and depending on type they do different things
sierra ones dues to the design offer a lower ratio in both low and high range, sierras have a reduction in high range from factory as well, hence why they have 3.7-4.11 diff gears
vitara only lower the low range ratio as high range is direct drive through the transfer so there is no gears as such

more power of a vit means they dont seem to struggle too much, plus they have a pretty low 1st gear so that helps get em moving

Diff gears would be the only way IMO.

The other way is to run dual transfers like Ant does. Basicly you bolt a Sierra transfer to the rear output on the Vit transfer and get custom drive shafts made up. I think this would only be possible on the LWB Vits as the SWB wouldn't have enough room.
Here is the Calmini Vitara gearset I recently installed into my Vit.. Its Very SLOW hehehe..
