I have a swb Vitara which has sagged quite a bit.
It's only a farm/hunting car but extra height would be awesome.
Would rather springs and struts but if I have to will go spacers .
I am located in Albion park. NSW.
Thanks.

Josh.

Soooo... what is it you want? What sort of lift are you after? What sort of ride quality/handling? What sort of budget?

i went to myall way in albion park to the plastic shop there and got 10 X60mm by 50 mm long pieces of pollyethelene bar for about 50 bucks drilled some holes in them on a lathe bought some bolts and made the 4 extended nuts from 9/16 inch high tensile bolts all up cost70 bucks

I thought lift kit and hunting rig said enough.
I will elaborate.
I have a hunting rig, and it is too low and bellies out on banks etc. gets driven hard. Is standard and sagged.
I was after a lift or spacers some one may have had sitting in a shed ( as I do sierra sh!t) that they might want to offload.
Would like to steer clear of body lift as it won't help me I need chassis clearance.
So coil spacer or a bolt in lift cheaper than what it would cost for me to buy eBay crud would be good. If not I will go for cheap spacers.
Cheers.

So now you have a shonky and incomplete body lift. What's your point?

OK, we're getting somewhere...

If you're asking for "...or spacers" you don't actually care about articulation, or handling by the sounds of it. You just want to get your chassis higher.

Easiest option would be to PM Bruce on here - he can make up a set of spacers to whatever dimensions you want.

For the record a body lift goes a long way towards being able to fit bigger tyres (leaving aside the fact that an unregistered hunting rig could have the bejeezus cut out of the guards and big offet rims...) which is the only way short of a diff shave to get more overall clearance.

For the sake of wanting to offload them - I have a pair of GV rear Tough Dog springs and shocks that will lift the back of a Vit around 3" and give you a little more travel than stock. Wil be pretty firm in a SWB Vit. Yours for $100 the lot.

Thanks dark horse. Yeah the tyres I have for it are more than sufficient.
30x9.5 retreads get it around pretty good. But big banks and washouts it bellies out.
Will just go down the spacers road and maybe some longer rear shocks.
It get hammered so not too worried about quality. It will more or less break something else before they wear out.

Thanks for the help.
I am a sierra man so the vit has thrown a curve ball.
Cheers.
