Lift Kits
Suspension Lift Kit +2'' Suzuki Samurai Stage 3 Raptor 4x4
The top version of the +2'' kit for the Suzuki Samurai. Alongside the Raptor 4x4 leaf springs and Silver Series dampers you get a complete set of yellow polyurethane bushings — firmer and more durable than rubber, so the spring mounts stay tight far longer.
Suspension Lift Kit +2'' Suzuki Samurai Stage 3 Raptor 4x4
New leaf packs on an old Samurai disappoint fast when they are bolted into tired bushings — the whole assembly still moves and knocks. Stage 3 closes that gap by replacing the parts most people only think about after the first trip.
This is the most complete build of the +2'' kit in the range: Raptor 4x4 springs and dampers plus a full set of yellow polyurethane bushings instead of rubber ones.
Lift height +2'' | Bushings yellow polyurethane, full set | Dampers Raptor 4x4 Silver Series, twin tube |
Key benefits
- Polyurethane instead of rubber — the complete yellow bushing set locates the leaf packs more firmly than the rubber-bushed version.
- More clearance, better off-road geometry — the two effects the manufacturer puts first when describing the lift.
- Space for bigger tyres — larger wheel fitment is listed outright in the kit specification.
- 50 mm twin-tube dampers — 50 mm body, 38 mm piston, 16 mm rod: off-road sizing rather than passenger-car hardware.
- One brand throughout — Raptor 4x4 springs and dampers specified for the same lift height.

This version goes to owners who use their Samurai off road regularly and would rather pay for polyurethane once than revisit the bushings after two seasons. The manufacturer positions the kit as a balance between trail capability and settled road behaviour, which suits a car that still covers tarmac between trips.
Fitting notes
The job covers the whole leaf assembly including bushings, so plan for a ramp and a full tool set. Polyurethane bushings need greasing on assembly if you want them to stay quiet. The Szekla4x4 workshop specialises in off-road builds and can take the whole job on.
Why this kit
- The most complete build in the +2'' range — nothing left to order halfway through the job.
- Polyurethane where a Samurai wears its suspension out fastest.
- Published damper figures instead of marketing adjectives.
If the plan is to do the springs once and properly, this kit is set up for exactly that.
Frequently Asked Questions
What separates Stage 3 from Stage 2?
The bushings. Stage 2 comes with a complete rubber leaf-spring bushing set, Stage 3 with a full set of yellow polyurethane bushings. The springs and dampers are Raptor 4x4 in both.
What exactly is included?
Two front and two rear Raptor 4x4 leaf springs, two front and two rear Raptor 4x4 Silver Series dampers, and a complete set of yellow polyurethane bushings.
Which dampers are supplied?
Raptor 4x4 Silver Series twin-tube units: 50 mm outer diameter, 38 mm piston, 16 mm rod.
Do polyurethane bushings need anything special during fitting?
They should be greased on assembly — standard practice for the material, whoever makes them. Otherwise the job is the same as fitting rubber bushings.
