Raising the center of gravity? Yeah, that'll help.

Those mods also widen the track. Suzuki rollover claims were highly
exaggerated. No worse than your typical Jeep CJ.

Which really isn't saying much.
My son rolled a Geo Tracker, the first generation after
the Samurai. A former employer's son was killed in a
Jeep CJ roll over.

Tall, narrow, short wheelbase = easy roll over.

The Geo Tracker is a Suzuki Vitara, and it's not narrow at all. It's almost
square, in fact. Gives it horrible axle hop, due to short wheel base and
tight suspension, but it's not particularly tall and it sure ain't narrow.

They will go over though if you hit a bump at high speed. That's the axle
hop.
There's a pic on that site of someone jumping a vitara at a beach. It's
getting some good air.
