Altered Ego 4.5 Inch Suspension Lift & 2 Inch Body Lift On 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara

We start the build on our 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara. We bought the four door Suzuki knowing that we would lift and modify it for our off road adventures. It had about 126k when we bought it and had a significant oil leak at the o ring between the crank case. Replacing that o ring requires total removal of the engine. While out timing chain set was replaced along with water pump and everything freshened up for hard days out on the trail. Interior is in great condition and the body is rust free with just a few dents. We'll most likely put a few more dents in and some forest road pinstripes.
4.5 inch suspension lift and 2 inch body lift purchased from Altered Ego Motorsports home of Zuki Nation out of Canada.
NOTE that prices on Altered Ego website are Canadian and US price is lower.

Great!
I bought it a week ago and did the same with my Suzuki G Vitara) our craftsmen make the same kits and I can recommend rear shock absorbers from 4Runner(KYB 344254 p/n), you just need to select the bushings.

[@jensentime2496]

Ok.i will check it out. My kit came with KYB shocks already

She just needs a rear locker and couple skid plates and take her wheeling!

[@jensentime2496]

She got two beautiful aluminum skid plates and upgraded transfercase. Check out the video we did on that. As for the locker, Rick wants one and I'm the hold up on that. Will get one eventually, probably an air locker.

I waited to see the body lift....I want to do the same to my grand vitara. It's hard to make? I lifted already 2.5 inch in suspension.

[@jensentime2496]

So the body lift I would say is basically the same from anywhere as long as it comes with the bolts and pucks. Just look at reviews if they have them. Not too hard to do. I loosened all mount bolts. Jacked up one side at a time.

[@jensentime2496]

Also pay attention when jacking for binding. Have to disconnect steering shaft. Will have to extend that. I will try to make a video later. I got in a hurry and didn't video much

What size tires?

[@jensentime2496]

265/70/R17. Basically 32 inch. Had to cut out front fender a bit and no rubbing. Haven't taken it off road yet. Finishing bumpers then it's going to get tested.
