Any body lift with that? Guard trimming or massaging?

How much breakage do you want with that?
What front diff are you running? What shafts and cvs? Gearing?

There's a LOT of steps to take before putting 33s on a vit.
I would shave a vit rear miles before trying to run 33s on a vit.

How much lift are you planning. It will lose stability and capability with too much lift.
on road gearing will suck. Youll need to do xfer gearing.
youll need to address axle/shaft/cv strength.

And to save Steve having a brain melt.
Suspension lifts dont fit tyres, body lifts, bumpstop spacing and guard cutting does.

Hehehe unless you're talking about the Calmini kit Jdk, where they use spring bind to take the place of bumpstop spacers, because 'murica!

All the other points are spot on though. With cutting and bumpstop spacing it's possible to run 33's on a vitara with no lift. It's breakage and gearing that's the problem, not fitting the tyres.
