It's easy to do yourself. Depends on how much lift you want. 2"-3" is achieveable with an EFS set of springs & shocks made especially for suzukis. For the front opt for 4 door springs just incase you want to add a bull bar or winch at some stage. I used Old Man Emu front struts as the EFS models we have in NZ were not that great. The next batch is supposed to be much better. Also above your springs you can add spacers. I put 25mm spacers in. That's the maximum lift you can put in before it needs to be certified in NZ. Also for the struts it's a good idea to purchase some camber bolts. it makes it easier to set the wheel alignment. All you need to change the suspension is a jack, some blocks, spanners, hammer, & a lever. The whole job can be done in less than two hours. If you want to do a body lift you will need a lot more time and a bit more equipment. You can get commercially made blocks or make them out of steel box section. You will need to alter the brake lines at the front, lengthen the fuel filler to the tank and you'll need longer studs/bolts for the chassis mounts. There are websites with detailed instructions. Check out my Garage. I am going to do a body lift to improve the clearance. I have 31" tyres on with the lift that i mentioned. Good luck
