Rear Lift Springs +7 cm Suzuki Vitara 1989-1998 - Raptor 4x4
A pair of Raptor 4x4 rear springs that lift the back of a Suzuki Vitara by 7 cm. Silver finish, made for the 1989-1998 generation. The natural counterpart to the RAP-09141S front springs when you want the car to sit level on both axles.
Rear Lift Springs +7 cm Suzuki Vitara - Raptor 4x4 (RAP-09142S)
Lifting only the front gives you a car that looks odd and drives even more oddly. The rear has to come up too, and by the same amount, if the body is to keep the attitude it was designed with.
These two springs do exactly that: they add 7 cm to the rear axle of a 1989-1998 Vitara, in a silver finish, supplied as a full axle set.
Vehicle Suzuki Vitara 1989-1998 | Axle rear, set of 2 | Lift +7 cm | Weight 4.50 kg |
Key benefits
- 7 cm of rear lift - more clearance under the rear axle and a better departure angle.
- Supplied per axle, so both sides behave identically with no single-spring matching.
- Same height as the RAP-09141S front springs, so the car keeps a level stance instead of sagging at the back.
- Silver finish.
- Stated set weight of 4.50 kg.
What is in the box
- 2 x rear lift spring +7 cm

A sound choice if you are building a Vitara for larger tyres and real terrain without carrying a permanently loaded rear end - roof rack, spare wheel and full expedition kit. For constant heavy loads the manufacturer lists a reinforced version, RAP-09143S.
Fitting notes
- For a 4-7 cm lift Raptor 4x4 offers the extended RAP-09153 rear shock absorber - stock units may run out of travel.
- Check alignment and headlight aim once the ride height has changed.
Why buy these
- A stated lift figure from the manufacturer - +7 cm, not a vague "raises the car".
- They match the rest of the Raptor 4x4 range built for the same height: front springs, arms and shocks.
- Standard rate rather than heavy duty, so ride comfort stays closer to stock than with HD springs.
Whether you already run the RAP-09141S fronts or are planning the full set, this pair brings the rear up to the same height.
