New to Suzuki / Geo
« on: September 08, 2008, 06:24:31 AM »
I've had my 94Tracker soft top for about a year now and have been researching the best way to modify it for street/mild trail use. Initially I'm going to go for a slight suspension lift with slightly larger tires. I still want it for use as my daily driver but also want the occasional off road trip. I' m looking at OME for the suspension with a 2 1/2" lift. I see Rocky Road has one, but they substitute their brand of shocks for the rear. Does anyone out there have any feedback about this setup, or do you recommend a different suspension?
 I'm located in Kansas City and am looking for other people involved with Suzuki's / Geo's, and wonder if there are any events / clubs around this area. 

 Thanks

I have a 94 tracker wirth the 8V and I commute about 100  miles every day with mine.  I did a 1.5" lift with OME parts.  I run 30" Firestone Destination AT.  It handles very well on and off road.  I have not hit a trail yet I could not run.  I also have 2" exhaust from the Cat back and a K&N filter.  I still get 27 MPG with this setup.  If you go 31" then the rear tire rack won't take a tire and it is a real hit in the HP.  With the intake/exhaust changes I made after the tires the truck runs as strong as it did before the bigger tires and lift.  Also if you go wider thena 9" tire then you are looking at spacers in the rear.

I'm partial but I reccomend using my coil spacers for the lift. A full 2" setup will run you $120 plus rear shocks. Welcome to the Suzuki family!!

I used jeff1997's lift, 235/75 R15 Goodyear Wrangle MTRs and 1.5" wheel spacers for my TracKick. It handles nicely as a DD, and it does phenomenally in the woods.

BTW, the pics in my footer are not up-to-date.  ::)
