Hey Fellas,

Doing the run arounds taking my car into many different shops getting quoted for a Body Lift to be installed.
Not one shop i have been to has installed a body lift on anything other than a toymotor.

Does anyone know somebody or somewhere who has done it on a suzuki?
Even if it was just a fella on here who wants a cashy!

Thanks in Advance,
Cheers

Thats thievery. They mustn't want to do it.

It took me longer than 2 hours but if you know what you're doing 2 hours could be possible.

Can lend a hand if you need it.

Give it a nudge yourself. It not usually the lift itself that is the problem, but addressing all the things it changes.
What model suzuki is it?

He's feeding his expanding family for the next few weeks on that.
