31" M/Ts are probably a good bet. Much bigger and your gearing will be well out. Mine goes pretty well with 31s and standard drive train. Bit gutless at top end though. Probably be fine with RUF and rascal rears for the suspension.

Not a major fit and only need buy one set of springs. Also gives longer springs to improve articulation a bit.

Avoid lift shackles!!!!

Top right is a user control panel. Somewhere in there is an avatar choice.

Suzuki rascal springs can be got second hand for next to nothing. New ones are about £160 a pair.

Have to get someone elses input about if it needs longer shocks. A cheap option for these is astra shocks. Can be got new for about £10 to £15 each.

Time wise if your half decent with a spanner it can be done easily in a day.

Best Zuk forum on the web!

Most regulars will help with tech help, parts sourcing, custom work, places to go. Those that live near to each other (wiltshire boys mainly as thats where most are) go laning together.

Darrell is a dab hand with diagrams. Dunno where he gets them from. Mike Harris is always break Zuks for parts.

Dan runs photo of the month. Specialist custom work can be done by Rockwatt. As for Scottie, he runs the forum has a shed full of Zuks and is a mine field of tech info, its just freaky.

Anything you need to know just post a thread in the relevant section. Never takes long to get a few answers or info.
