Default lookin for info on lifting my previa

hey there all...

been scouring the net for a week now looking for info on lifted previas. anyone out there got anything??? not lookin to sky jack it. i just an inch or two ta give me a little more snow clearance. looks like it might be kinda easy, for the front anyways. maybe just longer shocks?? i would rather stay away from body lifts as the springs for the front struts are in the way of putting bigger tires on... so i was thinking of coil over socks... if they come in a size i could use. the rear end is the difficult part...

any help or leads would be greatly apreciated....

The rear is easy. You could have a set of custom springs made. They are not as expensive as you might guess.
I would call Coil Spring Specialties -- individually calibrated coil springs for any suspension need. and ask. Thats at least inexpensive to find out.

The front , you could have a machine shop fabricate some aluminum spacers to go ontop of the upper strut support, and replace the studs in the upper strut support with longer hardened bolts. This is a typical spacer lift for tundras/tacomas/sequoias. The previa strut is much bigger around in size, so the spacer would probably have to be custom made.

Just an idea
