Title: Finished lift 2001 Grand Vitara
Post by: TNTracker on July 26, 2009, 06:57:06 PM

Finished my lift 1.5 spacers up front 2 inch in the rear (jeff1997 spacers), and 2 inch body lift (RROjavascript:void(0); . It sits a little higher than i thought it would, but i am going to be running 245/75 r16 buckshots so i should have very little body rub, but im still a little worried about frame rub. Anyone know if you can get a 16x7 wheel with 3 inch backspacing? Still have to finish rear bumper, get alignment and tires.

I've got some 16x7 rims with 3.5" backspace I want to sell, not sure if shipping would be a killer though.

I have the same GV, so I can't wait to see the pictures with the new tires.

I just got them put on friday. 245/75 r16 Maxxis Buckshots on stock steel wheels, and no rubbing lock to lock. I have not had it off the road any yet though. The rear is going to be where it will rub the most once it flexes.

A sawzall and a rubber mallet will take care of all the rubbing problems!!!  ;). Just kidding, the lift looks great!!!! I'm glad it alll went together good for you. Could you email me some pics of it to use on my ebay auction? hoepkers|removethispart|@charter.net. Thanks, Jeff

Looks good!  Plan on doing the same to my '01 Tracker. Just curious how you lifted the bumpers.

Your truck looks great TNT.  These trucks just look s-o-o much better when they have a little more air under them and larger tires.  I've said it before; wish they had come from the factory like this with gears to match and I can't help but believe they would have appealed to more customers and sold even more of them than they have/did.  I'm sure  government and manufacturer concerns over them being "roll-over" prone was a factor.  You can't legislate common sense or morality... but that doesn't stop our government from continually trying to save us fromo ourselves.  I'm betting I could roll over a Corvette if I drove it like a moron.
