Suspension Lift Kit +3'' Suzuki Samurai Stage 1 Raptor 4x4
Three inches of lift for the Suzuki Samurai in the base build: four +3'' Raptor 4x4 leaf springs and four Silver Series dampers matched to that height. Aimed at owners whose bushings and U-bolts are still good and who only need the springs and shocks.
Suspension Lift Kit +3'' Suzuki Samurai Stage 1 Raptor 4x4
Three inches changes a Samurai's proportions visibly — the frame stops catching where you used to look for a way around, and the arches finally have room the car never had from the factory.
Stage 1 concentrates on the essentials: a full set of Raptor 4x4 leaf springs and dampers specified for the +3'' height, with nothing added that you do not need if the rest of your spring hardware is sound.

Key benefits
- Three inches of lift — the manufacturer names increased clearance and improved off-road ability as the primary result.
- Genuine room for a big tyre — larger wheel fitment is stated directly in the kit specification.
- Dampers matched to the height — the Silver Series units are the +3'' lift version, working inside their travel rather than against the stops.
- Twin tube 50/38/16 mm — a 50 mm body, 38 mm piston and 16 mm rod, figures you can compare with anything else on the shelf.
- Trail and tarmac balance — the manufacturer's own description, which matters for a car that still uses the road.
What is in the kit
- 2 front +3'' Raptor 4x4 leaf springs
- 2 rear +3'' Raptor 4x4 leaf springs
- 2 front Raptor 4x4 Silver Series +3'' lift dampers
- 2 rear Raptor 4x4 Silver Series +3'' lift dampers
The parts list covers springs and dampers only — bushings and U-bolts are not included, so source them separately if yours are worn. Higher trim levels in this range include the bushing set.

It suits owners building a Samurai around bigger tyres and harder terrain who do not want to pay twice for parts they have just replaced. It is a sensible choice for a car that has already had some suspension work done.
Fitting notes
At three inches it is worth checking brake line lengths, driveshaft angles and steering behaviour straight away — the higher the lift, the more of those details matter. The Szekla4x4 workshop handles this daily, so fitting and measurement can be booked together.
Why this kit
- A basic but coherent set: springs and dampers from one brand for one lift height.
- Real damper figures instead of vague talk about off-road valving.
- Room to expand — add bushings and U-bolts separately when they are due.
