Has anyone got or heard of coil spring spacers to gain lift with factory coils installed? Rancho sell them for $110 a pair for my Suzy Grand Vitara XL7.

They are usually used for levelling a car out...
EG:->> GU's all the weight is on driver side, aux tank, driver etc etc.. you put the 10mm spacers in the drivers side, to level the car up a little.
Not really just to gain lift, but I cant see why they wouldnt work.
Try ARB too, they sell them, as do TJM, probably anyone who makes
suspension like Bilsteins, Koni etc...

yep... i have used a pair of 30mm spacers on top of my springs on a gq patrol.
I had a 4"
suspension lift then fitted a winch which dropped the nose a bit...

Try a smaller retailer than Rancho. You will probably find the spacer was imported. I picked up 2x25mm spacers for $40 or $50 from North Shore 4WD or whatever they are called. They are just polyurethane rings that sit over the spring.
