Shocks
Rear HD Shock Absorber Lift 4-7 cm Suzuki Vitara - Raptor 4x4
A Raptor 4x4 heavy duty rear shock absorber for a Suzuki Vitara raised by 4-7 cm. The correct length lets the rear wheel use the full suspension travel instead of hanging on the damper stop. Silver finish.
Rear HD Shock Absorber Lift 4-7 cm Suzuki Vitara - Raptor 4x4 (RAP-09153)
The rear axle of a lifted Vitara is where a badly matched damper shows up fastest: the car skips over bumps and the wheel loses contact exactly when you need it most. The right length solves the problem before it appears.
Raptor 4x4 assigns this shock absorber to vehicles with a 4-7 cm lift. Heavy duty specification, silver finish.

- Silver finish.
- Light at 2 kg per unit.

Buy it when fitting lift springs in this range, or when the original dampers on an already raised car have reached the end of their life. It works with both standard and reinforced springs - in either case the suspension operates at the same ride height.
Fitting notes
- Rear dampers are replaced in pairs, so a complete job needs two units.
- For the front axle at the same lift the manufacturer specifies RAP-09151 (right) and RAP-09152 (left).
Why buy this one
- Designed for a defined lift range rather than sold as a universal substitute.
- Fits the whole Raptor 4x4 Vitara suspension family - standard springs, HD springs and +40 mm kits.
- Straightforward replacement: the same part for both sides of the rear axle.
Order two units for a complete rear axle refresh so both sides behave identically.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many units do I need for the rear axle?
Two - this item is sold individually and dampers on an axle are replaced in pairs.
What lift is it designed for?
Vehicles with a 4-7 cm lift.
Does it suit the RAP-09143S HD springs?
Yes - the HD springs give +7 cm of lift, which falls inside this damper's working range.
Does it only fit the Vitara?
The distributor page lists Suzuki Vitara 1989-1998. The manufacturer describes the same part number more broadly, as fitting the Vitara and Grand Vitara - worth confirming before buying for a Grand Vitara.
Which dampers suit the front?
At the same lift height the manufacturer specifies RAP-09151 for the right side and RAP-09152 for the left.
