Does anyone elses vitaras ride like a tennis ball? I'm running a 2.5" suspension lift (procomp, with some funky twin shock setup) with 31s at 25psi and its like driving a pogo stick! This thing is incredibly harsh, its harder than my bimmers suspension (which has zero body roll)!

Do you think this would be attributed to the type of shock absorber or are all lifted SWB vitaras pretty bouncy?

Any feedback is appreciated, i'll try get some pics of the suspension setup over the weekend when i do the wheel bearings.

Depends on what road surfaces, but my parents SWB is stock and can tend to get a wallow up at Highway speeds..

My LWB only seems to get a bit bouncy in high winds

Every road surface its bumpy hah! I'm having a guess that its the style of shock thats in the car. The front has two shocks per side and the rears are big body items. They are procomp ES3000s, and are pretty old, so perhaps the valving has shat itself.

What shocks are others running in their lifted vits?

Take one shock out and see what difference that makes. Maybe try dropping your tyres pressures a little too.
