4" Radzikone Lift Kit
for Suzuki Vitara I, X90, Sidekick
1.6 8v, 1.6 16v (1989–1998)
(in Santana Vitara I 1994–2005 additional modifications required*)
Raises the Vitara by 10 cm on suspension.
Comfortable for daily driving.
Handles tough off-road conditions with ease.
Uses the same components as the 3" Lift – only the springs differ.
This results in better performance in deep ruts.
WARRANTY: 10 years for Radzikone parts and 3 years for shock absorbers and springs.
*NOTE: if the VIN starts with “V”, 1994–2003 Santana Vitara models were equipped with “weak” Spanish drive shafts with too small working angle – they must be replaced.
Read more.
In 2003–2005 Santana-Vitara models equipped with “strong” Spanish drive shafts (left one bolted to the differential with 6 bolts), installation requires
VB extended front A-arms from the 4" PLUS Lift Kit.
In 1989–2003 models VB A-arms are not required, but they can definitely be used.

Full kit description
The stock Vitara has limited off-road capability.
The Radzikone kit significantly improves the vehicle’s characteristics — both off-road and on-road.
At the front, the Lift Kit shifts the entire shock absorbers travel.
Combined with properly matched spring characteristics, this improves ride comfort and vehicle control.
The vehicle absorbs bumps better and remains stable even during dynamic driving.
The most important change, however, is the increased ground clearance by 10 cm while maintaining confident handling on-road.
At the rear, gas shock absorbers 11 cm longer (travel increased by 6 cm),
combined with longer springs significantly improve articulation and suspension travel.
Progressive springs provide comfort during daily driving and stability in fast corners.
Improved working angles of the drive shafts, differentials and prop shaft ensure that the drivetrain operates in favorable conditions,
which translates into long-term durability.
After proper wheel alignment, optimal front wheel camber angles are achieved.
Summary: a Vitara with the 10 cm Radzikone Lift Kit handles confidently, is more comfortable,
and its off-road capability increases dramatically – it becomes a completely different vehicle.
Suzuki Vitara tire size with the lift kit installed – up to 29–30" tires (max. 74 cm) without trimming the fenders:
235/75 R15, 30x9.5 R15, 235/70 R16, 225/75 R16, 245/70 R16
Such large tires are best installed on original alloy rims with offset ET3 (from Vitara I 1989–1995) and ET5 (from Grand Vitara I
/ XL7 1998–2005) or new ET0 steel rims
(original steel rims from the Vitara have ET25, so they will sit further inside and are suitable only for vehicles without the original plastic fender flares)
Rims with strongly negative offset (ET -25, -30...) are not recommended – the more negative offset, the more the wheels
stick out and during turning they rub against the fenders and side sills.
They also negatively affect the steering and suspension: the steering wheel gets pulled on bumps and ruts,
accelerates wear of steering linkage, steering rack, front shock absorbers and wheel bearings.
The vehicle becomes less predictable to drive. It may feel better only on perfectly smooth roads. We do not recommend it.
The 4" PLUS Lift Kit is also available
for 31" tires and in combination with 2" Body Lift even up to 33".

**IMPORTANT: If your vehicle does not have a front winch installed – do not buy the winch version kit.
Installed on a vehicle without a winch it will damage the front shock absorbers and cause incorrect front wheel camber.
Front spring height is selected based on the number of doors, engine type and the presence of a winch.
This is very important, as the height of the front of the vehicle directly affects the camber algle of the front wheels.
Incorrectly selected springs cause improper wheel angles, resulting in poor vehicle handling and significantly accelerated
shock absorber wear (limited suspension travel and bottoming out).
If a winch is only planned at the time of purchase, contact us after it is installed.
We will then select appropriate metal adjustment spacers mounted above the upper front spring seats,
allowing correction of vehicle height and front wheel camber.
*NOTE: if the VIN starts with “V”, 1994–2003 Santana Vitara models were equipped with “weak” Spanish drive shafts with too small working angle – they must be replaced.
