Nice job of installing the lift kit in the little Suzuki Samurai. :-)

Haters are gonna hate, but Calmini makes Great bolt on kits. Not everyone has a welder or is comfortable welding on a tinfoil Suzuki axle housing. Customer service Calmini isn't great but their stuff is pretty bomb proof. I have a 5" reverse shackle bolt on lift from them and its 20 years old. One of my front leafs finally broke this weekend and I had to replace my front springs, but other than that it's been running strong for 20 years on a daily driven rig. Calmini kits aren't known for their huge flex, they just get you more space to clear larger tires. So the spacer on the drive shaft works fine for what you have. With a 5" lift, you can stuff a 33" tire under it but you have to cut the front tube that the stock bumper is bolted to and you will need to re-gear the transfer case or diffs, and the front birfield joints are going to break sooner. 31's are a good size to go with the 5" lifts and it's not too hard on the stock drive train. Still would recommend re-gearing the low range in your transfer case for anything over 30 inches if you have a 1.3L power plant. If you Do eventually go with a longer shackle and lift springs, or do a rear up front or YJ conversion, the extra travel you have will mean going with a longer drive shaft and losing that spacer so that your angles don't get you twisted up. If you do go for a flexier spring set up, Recommend converting the front shocks to eyes on both ends and getting full extension out of them, instead of the adapter stub that calmini puts in their kits. The calmini shocks are just for the small travel that their kit provides.

Sweet video , wish I had a garage like you do

[@avalancheklimer3255]

That lift lasted almost a whole may long weekend on my 86 zuk. Worst OFF road lift I ever had. Not to mention it took 10 months to get.

Very nice job, Im planing to buy one of these beasts and left it same as yours. I like the paint color too :D

[@jimmypopp2695]

[@RedneckHillbillies]

Most welcome 😊

[@RedneckHillbillies]

215/75/R15 We could go bigger but they're still in great shape so we don't have to replace them yet.

[@elvynortiz3456]

Excellent video I have 3 samurais very good video

[@mavericmorph5358]

Good job. Bigger wheels!!

[@icebluejimmy]

great job guys....

[@OscarRodriguez-nv5xr]

The best car for ever! Y tengo dos y los adoro,sirven en el campo y en la ciudad.

[@luisdfernandez2601]

Thanks for the video. On 02:35 you mention not take the back axle off without lowering the vehicle because the balance point will drop the front-end down - can you explain a bit more about what this means?

[@lmalesci]

I have a question for you experts in the 4x4 sector! (and I would like to know if you can tell me if it is true that the ironman nitro gas shock absorbers go well with the original set-up and can be adapted with the +5? I have a Suzuki jimny 4x4 with m13a 1.3 l petrol engine with shock absorbers and standard settings, yesterday afternoon I picked up the new ironman nitro gas shock absorbers and the 4x4 spare parts dealer in Florence told me that these ironman nitro gas shock absorbers are ok for 4x4 off-road vehicles with stock trim or in a second you could put the springs higher and it becomes a +5 high trim is that true? Greetings from Florence Italy!)

[@shyecjj]

Have fun dragging those lift blocks through the mud. Should of just went axle over new purches and grind off the old ones. And that driveshaft angle ouch!

[@TinShackVideos]

Well since this was in 2012 I guess I don't have to tell you about the quality of calmini parts.

[@eritronc]

great!!, congratulations, nice machine greetings from chile!!

[@RedneckHillbillies]

Yup it needs bigger wheels. Some day. They're still in pretty good shape though so we're not in any hurry.

[@rafaelgalvezhernandez8048]

Aqi en el salvador acen falta repuestos nuevos Samurai asi como tren otras marcas apachados y aqi los enderesan SON MUY BUENOS

[@EivinSukoi]

Rafael Galvez Hernandez Aqui en los EEUU puedes adquirir casi todo en respecto a la carrocería , cuesta encontrar partes para el piso . Yo tengo dos Samurai uno que compre proviene de Arizona que está en buen estado , otro que necesita trabajo de carrocería , pero ambos ya tienen componentes Iara andar en la montaña.

[@gwallnut666]

those stock chrome wheels were an option back in the day they look brand new

[@RedneckHillbillies]

@ohyawellfukyu it's been a while but I think it took about 3 days. It has a twin cam 1.3l from a Suzuki swift in it.

[@federicoquinones4637]

Love the video, got a Question thought: Just bought a 1987 Suzuki SJ 410 from an Old lady all original, no rust barn find (Body wise same as 413 and samurai for what Ive been told). Question: Would like to put a Trailmaster suspension on it 2" lift (dont want to go all crazy as it has the 1.0L engine) Do I need to install extensions for the break lines, drive shaft etc.??... Any other modifications?... Would appreciate any tips help! Looking to keep it as original as possible it just needs a new suspension and would like to go for a bit bigger rims and tires but nothing to crazy... Thnx!

[@federicoquinones4637]

P.S. Also need to change the Body bumbers/bushings as they are already worn. Thinking about going with originals or a 1" lift, same Question as before, would I need to get extensions for Drive shaft, break lines etc.? Tnhx.

[@danesderelicts]

Did you make your own spring pads? Are they welded to the axle tube? Did you rotate the pinion? I have a samurai and would like to do this. Thanks.

[@ginhhbhyhhhhhtffffbji]

Is that 5" lift kit ? Or 3.5" ?

[@RedneckHillbillies]

stock 92 , they made em bit softer YEW

[@danesderelicts]

Nice job. I wish I had a lift in my garage. Have you thought about a yj springs? I hear good things about them. I guess you won't have to worry about braking your springs and they ride softer.

[@Borges69ful]

Is it needed to change tyres size? if yes to which size after the lift?

[@Borges69ful]

Hey man! I like your post about the suzuki samurai lift, I bought one last year and I live in Mozambique. I want to lift mine and would like to have your advice, My steering wheel is at the right side of he vehicle, can you help? Borges Novela

[@mikep5027]

Very nice.. what size tires are those.. I'm planning to do this with mine but I have 31's on it.. don't know if they will look too small..

[@ebayollis]

how long did it take to install from start to finish?

[@Nighthunn]

what is the size of tires you are using???

[@slick116]

nice job....vehicle deserves nicer tires

[@NikoSebalj]

what leafsprings are you running on? org ones?

[@jacobmartinez1255]

How much would this cost to do

[@citywideorange5059]

"The one inch spacer solves the gerronomy" HAHAHA!

[@imsavor]

Should've put some 35s on

[@V2FRANK]

great Video !!! :-)

[@baazigaj9125]

doesn't it requires welds?

[@RedneckHillbillies]

No. No, the axle is factory, it's a bolt on kit. No I didn't rotate the pinion, it remains in a good position.

[@Ohyawellfuku]

You just got a sub! Sick zuki! I just bought an 87 cause I wanted to build up my ram 3500 5.9l 6spd but since driving the zuki in the cascade back trails I've only wanted to mod it!! Howlong did this lift take? And do you have the stock 1.3l?

[@hendrywibianto1485]
