Body lifts are straight forward but you do get what you pay for.
The cheaper Ebay ones are simply polythene bushes and long bolts. Not only that but the longer bolts do not fit the Suzuki threads so you drill out the old ones and push the new bolts through, not very tidy. The more expensive kits have the proper threads so they fit the original Suzuki fittings.
Three areas need consideration for a body lift:
1. Steering spacer - the steering column may need a small extension in the joint.
2. Brake union - the brake union may be tight, the bodge trick is to leave it un-bolted in mid air.
3. Bumpers - you can get an ugly gap between the bumpers and the body. You need to consider moving the bumpers up.
Having said that they can be a cheap way forward. I have one kit available in the store which was a sample product, its the Bits$Vits body lift kit.
