I am looking at raising a 2003 Suzuki GV XL7. I have a dilemma as to the best option for lifting.

ARB - OME complete springs, shocks, struts etc would give 25mm at front and 35mm at rear.

TJM - Own brand (XGS?) complete kit again would give 30mm lift.

A couple of suspension places would either do about 60mm front and 50mm rear lift with tough dog shocks and their own brand spring.

Cost is a consideration, but there is only about $200 difference between them. I was thinking of at least 2in lift.

Any thoughts?

Isn't 50mm (2") the maximum that is allowed by both roard regulations and Insurance regulations?

Apparently the 60mm lift would be because the car has a bull bar fitted to it. Given that the front sags a little with the extra weight, the overall lift would be about 60mm, but still about 50mm from the original vehicle height without the bullbar.

Cheers mate,

Pedders is one of the suspension places that I was considering. I hear their warranty and after sales warranty service is pretty good to.

To know that someone has had work done by them and is happy is a great help.

Thanks
