Suzuki Specialist
Does anyone know of any garages that specialise in Suzuki's in the west yorkshire area?
Just got a SJ413 and want to make a move on it.
Thanks

Re: Suzuki Specialist
They can certainly sort suspension out. But its not a massive job to do yourself and be a damn site cheaper to do it yourself.
Are you looking at lift kit? Standard? SPOA? Or something different?
The hard tops are quite hard to come by now.

Re: Suzuki Specialist
True, and I'm not too sure really, how would it drive on the road with a lift kit? I want to be able to use it as my daily driver and do some off roading with it as well.
The hard top is not in the best condition but its manageable, so it should be okay.

Re: Suzuki Specialist
I run lift springs and its fine. When i go laning it'll do 150 mile in a day.
All depends what you want to do. Only reason for lift is bigger tyres. Kind of lift depends on how big tyres? Type of off roading? And as you said how many road miles?
You can do RUF and rascal rears, YJ conversion, standard lift springs, virtual lift (cut the arches out, usually done when rotten).
Depending on how you do it longer shocks and brake hoses may be required aswell as extended bump stops.
Once you go to 31s and over you may also get them fouling the bulkhead so moving axle forward or bulkhead modifications may be required.

Re: Suzuki Specialist
I want to be able to fit these!
Nah just kidding, Just some minor off roading, nothing serious really, and I will only be doing about 3000 a year, so not much at all.
Dont really know what tyres to go for though.
