Just wondering if anyone knows the easiest and (lol) cheapest way to lift a Vitara?
Would bigger shocks be the way to go?
I'd prefer not to do a body lift.
Cheers, Alex.

Spring and shock spacers/drop mounts will probably be quickest and easy.
Dont know about pricing as I've never shopped for any.
Cant imagine they would cost anywhere near that of a body lift but may need extended brake lines and diff dropping on the front.
Maybe there are some longer cheap altenative shocks?

depending on how much lift you want there is lots of options to lift a vit
the more you lift the more parts you need to change & more money you need to spend
if going over 2" you will need diff drop brackets for front & hiem spacer for rear diff
mk2 or mk3 astra h/b rear shocks are a cheap longer shock for rear of the vits

Did a bit of checking and Grand Vitara springs apparently give a 1.5" lift. Might try that.
