Rear HD Lift Springs +7 cm Suzuki Vitara - Raptor 4x4
The reinforced version of the Raptor 4x4 rear springs with +7 cm of lift for the Suzuki Vitara. The manufacturer aims them at vehicles running fully loaded, towing or used for work - exactly where a standard rate spring gives up its height. Supplied as a pair, silver finish.
Rear HD Lift Springs +7 cm Suzuki Vitara - Raptor 4x4 (RAP-09143S)
A loaded roof rack, a second steel wheel, a jerrycan and a fridge, and the rear sits so low that the lift stops meaning anything. HD springs answer that scenario rather than a wish for a few more centimetres of height.
Raptor 4x4 states it plainly: reinforced, for increased loads, intended for travelling fully loaded, towing and working use. The lift height is the same as the standard version - +7 cm - what changes is the rate.

Key benefits
- Reinforced rate - the rear holds its height even when the vehicle is genuinely loaded.

Fitting notes
- For a 4-7 cm lift Raptor 4x4 offers the extended RAP-09153 rear shock absorber.
- Check alignment and headlight aim after changing ride height and spring rate.
Why buy these
- Extra load capacity without changing ride height - you add capability, not geometry.
- The manufacturer defines the purpose clearly: full load, trailer, work.
- Part of a range that also covers matching shocks and front springs at the same height.
If the rear of your Vitara keeps sagging under load, this is the spring version that stops it.
