No, the trimatic auto is cable shifted so it's actually easier than body lifting a manual is the gearlever won't get tight on the console due to the bigger gap between the gearbox and body.

There's no need to lift the auto.

just the usual mods to the transfer lever, which i found easiest to do by just cutting off the old one, and welding on some windmill rod, and bending to suit, cos the factory stuff is sooo hard to bend

1" and 2" are exactly the same amount of hassle - If you are unbolting and fiddling with everything, just go 2" from the outset.

i've been told to ask about what i can use to join the original bolt to longer or bolts or are the bolts removable?

Suzuki's run a captive body stud & you need a female bolt to thread onto the body stud.

BYE Products make a good kit for the Vitara http://auszookers.com/index.php?name=Fo ... ic&t=15518

What body lift kit are you using? I assume you are talking about the fixed threads? If you use the Just_Cruizin kit then everything is supplied, including female bolts to fit the threads and detailed instructions

Yeah just use a Just Cruisin lift or similar, the female bolts are the best way
