Just got a bone stock 99 Tracker 1.6L softop.

I'm looking for a hardtop, good condition softop canvas, front CVs, and praying for a used lift kit (suspention or body).

Or anything else interesting that fits on this rig (wheels, 31" tires, etc).

Let me know what you have! thank you!

you can run a 1.75 inch spacer absolute MAX (try more and crack kaboom real fast) better to stick with 1.5 for the spacer for keeping it together, this will give you just over 2inches of actual lift, in the front you will need a strut spacer or extension or the front will ride like a tank with zero travel and blow out the struts very fast, don't add more than 1.5-2 inches of extra travel to the front or it will fall apart(my 03 tracker had the front end apart at least 10 times over the 5yrs i owned it), ditch the sway bar up front. then up to 3 inches in the rear,you must get rear bumpstop extended though or your coils will just fall out with longer rear shocks.. which again you need or it just won't function.. for the rear you can use xl7 rear coils for a bit of lift and then run a 1.75 inch spacer with it, i used a jeep coil spacer with the center bored out a bit.. this way you can actually carry weight and have the hard top without it just sagging right down. I had this same setup, worked very well. i ran early 90's chev cavalier rear shocks, bolt right up and ride great, they're about 5 inches longer than stock tracker shocks i think..

i've got some 1 inch front spacers in my garage, come and get them and you can have them for a whopping zero dollars, this will result in 1.5 inches of lift for the front

you should check out zukiworld.com for various info.and can get most lift parts from bits4vits in the UK, check out his site. quick shipping and good pricing.

i found my hardtop at a scrap yard, new they're about $1400...

have fun, watch the skinny pedal, the front end is weak!

$150 for the body lift ain't bad.

I got confused with the suspention lift here. I am to use coil spacers up gront with some sort of shock extention? And in the back, XL7 wprings with 90's Cav shocks? And can someone explain the larger bumps stops?


Thanks!

start looking at zookpower.ca, zukiworld.com, zuwharrie.com for information on lifting your 99+ zuk properly, there are a couple kits out there but they are pricey and incomplete so not worth the money..

actually on zukiworld.com you can search for jeff's spacer lift, this will provide all basic lift parts other than the rear shocks that you can pick up anywhere in town. all parts will total around $300. this will give you a 2 1/4 front lift and ask for a 2.5 inch rear spacer. you can change out your rear springs for stiffer ones later if needed. don't buy a used "lift kit" like a calmini or OME. you only need to extend the rear bumpstops on the tracker, which as mentioned look up bits4vits online, he sells bumpstop extensions for trackers. these are needed when using spacers and longer shocks.
