Okay so Ive been trolling the forum for a while punching the search button for an hour. . . still haven't really found the info im after.
I want to lift my new vitara by 50mm. So far i can find 30mm springs and 40mm springs. no 50mm springs. ive also had a look and am thinking a full 2" kit would be great. with new control arms and so forth to keep everything done right.
I know there is a clamini 2" kit. I also understand this does not fit the SV420.
what is the best option to lift my new SV420 by 50mm without using spring spacers! or a body lift. and keep its city drive ability and still take it on some hard days out once a month or so.
also I plan on getting a winch bar (when TSOR releaser one for the SV420) and place a 9000lb or so winch behind it which i know weighs about 35-40kg's how will this affect the level of the car? will i loose a lot of the 50mm lift I am trying to achieve?
I hope that make sense.

Ive read Atari's build 10000000000000million times and cant seem to read it enough times.
so the suspension in the 620 is the same as the 420?

May have different spring & strut rate's but same same. just shorter..
Spring's & shock's, can be done on the cheap by using Gv spring's & a strut top flip, longer rear shock's.
Am told the Gv strut's fit, but the valving IMO would be to stiff for the poor lil thing's...

I think that 4.5" is a little much for me. . . 3" would be more than I want to go. . . although there springs look nice. . .
if I can find some 2" springs. do i need to use diff drop brackets? or new lower controll arms? I know I will need new struts and shocks. but is that all?

The winch idea from my experience from chopping and changing bullbars so often to do with weight and handling is to mount a towbar tongue in my bar under my number plate and make the winch portable to keep the weight down and the winch in good nic. I am however still exploring the idea to make sure its strong enough as i use the car for a daily driver and still do enough silly things to warrant having it. The warn i was looking about is about 40kg. On the front of a zook for handling is not fun on either the suspension of breaks throwing it around the corner its it is fixed mount.
