Whats the offcial figure specified by Suzuki. I can't find it anywhere. I'm buying one of those wobbly things for the dash that tells you how far you are leaning and I wan to set it with the factory figure for now and work from there.

It would depend on alot of things. If you remove the obvious one of environmental ( obviously the slope will make a difference, but let's remove that) you have wheel hight, tire hight and width, suspension lift body lift , occupants of the car, what's in the car, where in the car are the people/ items , roof racks, are there anything on the racks, I know this isn't much help but yea haha hard to say

I used to have one of those "wobbly things for the dash that tells you how far you are leaning" in my GV for a while but removed it because it was useless off road. It wasn't damped so "wobbled" so much that it was hard to read accurately and I was too busy trying not to rollover to look at it.

agree.. those things are only accurate when the car is steady, any tinny movement and the wobbly thing is gonna wobble all over the place for the inertia... and well when ull be in a situation that ull need to know if u went too far... u more prob went already and ull only have the time to "look" at ur woobly thing after u flip on ur side ahhaha.... in a extreme angle situation ull be too busy driving/paying attention to track/listening to ur spotter/stress out/scared/ect in order to have time to "check" ur angle
