Many Suzuki Sidekick parts and accessories fit onto your X-90. Please browse thru our Sidekick sections listed above and feel free to ask any questions as to your specific application!
This awesome system allows you to bolt-on 4.5" of lift to your X90.
X90 suspension lift kits are sort of a misnomer. You can find companies selling Sidekick/Tracker lift kits who will say their suspension works on the X90. While technically it is true, their kit can be fitted to an X90. To say that is is FOR and X90 is simply incorrect. What they will sell you is a kit designed for a full 4door Sidekick. A vehicle MUCH heavier than your X90. The result? A really stiff and unpleasant ride. Those other kits just end up taking all the fun out of your X when you should be excited about the new look.
Not at Rocky Road. Our springs are specifically engineered for the light weight of the X90.
Our system does not reduce clearance with A-arm lowering kits, or bogg down your installation with brackets and spacers that are 100% unnecessary to get factory spec on camber and alignment. Instead, you enjoy the full benefit of your suspension system with maximum suspension clearance, simplicity, and offroadability. Any alignment shop can use camber bolts or a number of other items with our system to put you right back to factory spec!
You also get better flex from our system since the CALifornia based suspensions are using STOCK struts with spacer brackets stuck on top, then give it some sort of superdee-duperdee articulating name. With stock length struts and spacers? Who are they kidding! No wonder there are so many pieces stuck in those stiff-riding kits!

The main thing that sets our kit apart from our competition though is the ride quality and Old Man Emu equipment... the undisputed best quality suspension manufacturer on the planet for any vehicle. We get plenty of customers who also purchase our kit after having already spent money on our competition's lift. One customer even titled his CALifornia lift purchase as "my-big-fat-suspension-mistake". Don't you make the mistake of being sucked into the mistake of buying a poor riding suspension, stick with Old Man Emu, stick with Rocky Road, you will have the very best riding and durable suspension on the planet for your rig.
Old Man Emu springs. OME Springs are well known as the best riding springs on the planet for Suzuki X90s. Old Man Emu springs come in various choices of spring rates so you can fine tune your suspension ride as you like. Other companies with lift kits farm out their springs to the lowest bidder. This is why they ride so stiff. OME builds their own springs and has the formula perfect! If you are looking for a nice ride out of your lifted suspension, experience the delights of an OME suspension. One size does not fit all. The other guys put the same springs on a 2 door softop as for a 4 door hardtop. That means you get a spring not designed for the weight of either vehicle. Let us help you fine tune your ride quality with our various spring rates available specifically built for each vehicle. The only other kit on the market uses a one size fits all mentality. Bottom line is the competition's lift kit rides stiff and people just aren't happy when they drive it.
PLEASE NOTE: Spring rates are based on Rocky Road charts, experiences, testing, and may vary from OME's published generic information. We're using real world test data to provide the best fit and choice to our customers. If you want a specific part number that may differ from our own R&D, call in to place your order and specify.

Old Man Emu struts. These are not generic application struts as with other kits. OME designs and manufactures each strut unit specifically for your vehicle. The strut is tuned for the weight of your vehicle, handling characteristics, and your articulation needs for a lifted vehicle. NO OTHER COMPANY does this. Notice also that the other kits use a big spacer for their struts.... this is BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO SHORT and as a result WILL limit wheel travel! Our competitor's kit uses a STOCK strut in their "big articulation" lift kit. Bottom line, stock struts equal stock wheel travel and no improvement in ride quality. The OME struts are designed perfectly for on & offroading at this lift height. They offer inches more length for better articulation than supposed long travel 3" lift kits.
Another competitor uses a generic strut in their "Old Man Emu lift kit". The OME struts are designed perfectly for on & offroading at this lift height. And DO NOT go with an OME kit and some unknown re-stickered strut. The ONLY reason our competitors don't sell OME struts with those OME spring kits... for them to make money. NOT for you to have the best possible suspension OME is the best, no one can legitimately dispute this. .

Rocky Road HYDRO rear shocks. We've been around Suzukis and Geos for awhile and have designed a shock line to deliver a nice comfy ride quality for this lightweight vehicle. Our shocks not only ride soft though, they are a great long travel shock that won't hang up your suspension flex.
1 1/8" Coil Spacers. Our simple coil spacers boost your suspension up another inch without changing the ride quality of your Old Man Emu springs. This means you get the highest clearance suspension under the differentials available today; a true 2.5" of suspension lift (if not a wee bit more). Other "taller" kits have components that actually lower the clearance. The Rocksteady is all pure lift and offer better ground clearance than other 3" lift kits. Our coil spacers are guaranteed forever and compliment the incredible ride quality of the OME springs very nicely.
2" Body lift. We round out our 4.5" package with a 2" body lift. A system built out of simplicity and designed to get around the headaches involved with 3" body lifts. No cutting and welding your steering system, hacking into the brake lines, or any of the many other headaches with the 3" body lifts. Included is extension of your stock shifters if desired.
Steering extension kit. New rack and pinion equipped vehicles have a steering system that can get in a bit of a bind with a body lift. Our system includes
steering extension kits for these 1999+ vehicles. They are exclusive to Rocky Road and provide an added measure of safety with our complete lift system.
