3" body lift on Vitara

(1/3) > >>

fozuki:
Just wondering if I can get some help from someone out there regarding my Vit. I've put an L A Supertrux body lift on it with some juicy 31, 10.50, 15 BFG MT's now sat under the arches. Some nice suspension is going to follow. It has to be said that the kit went on fine but the gear levers, gaitors and centre console are being an arse.

What are some good solid tips for getting the levers right so I can get the thing on some lanes :).

I just want to make sure that it stays water tight using the standard parts, just a bit modified if thats possible.

Cheers

turn the rubber gaiter upside down so it sticks downwards.

either that or extend the levers

Thanks for the speedy reply.

If the levers need extending is it a simple job ie just welding another length on at a more suitable angle? The levers seem to be part hardened steel and part tube.... Do you have any pictures of any Vits that you have modded in this way?

Do you find that this mod keeps the water out.

I know these are some pretty basic questions, I think I've just been staring at it for too long and hit the wall.

Cheers

James

you could always cut back the tin on the floor to the rear of the sticks leaving them totally standard but you will have to do away with the console, youll be left with short sticks but no trouble with gear selection but you will have a gap in the floor where they have in now mooved back, simple tip, pop rivet in some plate to cover the gaps,
thats what i did in mine with no probs at all

Cheers Mukker

I always get a bit twitchy when it comes to cutting holes in things but it sounds a fairly straight forward mod. Centre console will have to bite the dust but it's not as if I'm running around in my Vit in my Sunday best.

Thanks
