Got grinder to work. This much so far. I think it will be plenty strong. Working out how to gain the 1.5" needed under the mount.

Ok. This is a start. I can do 2 of these. There is 1.5" between the 2 spring perches so now just need something as the meat in the sandwhich.

I'm really hoping I can get to my metal place this week to pick up my bits!

Let us know when you install these. Dying to find out how it works.

Will do. Gonna order the rear spacers tonight or tomorrow and will put it all in once they arrive.

So I just pulled the trigger on these, $22CAD shipped off amazon. 1.5" coil spacers. not vehicle specific so hope they fit. Also a set of camber bolts as going up 1.5" will require an alignment I bet.

Sweet, hopefully Amazon is quick out that way lol

We got a record snowfall for Toronto yesterday. 26+ cm. With just the xd springs and the tires I'm running... this car was unstoppable. I was bombing around stuck SUVs, CUV's and just about everything else on the road. Even 2' snow berms left by the plow were no problem with a bit of momentum. Im guessing 1.5-2" of lift plus a larger tire will satisfy most people's desire for easier mobility in snow.

I saw the snow on the news. We're getting that storm here but only calling for 10-15cm. I know with some clearance the little red car will get through anything. The only time I get stuck is when the bottom hits snow and lifts the tires off the ground. Bits should arrive on Friday, I have to do a bathroom reno so we'll see if I get some time to install the lift.

Was perusing the web for roof rack options then remembered I have a Thule setup from my old X-Trail(POS) so I am going to see if I can line that up and mount. Anyone know if the spot under the black rubber is thick enough to drill and tap threads? Generally that's the strongest part of the roof.

Thanks. I found that right after I typed the question. first time I searched I had a typo and nothing came up LOL. I need to look into the expanding anchors from that thread.

Rear spacers are supposed to arrive by tomorrow, Amazon guarantee. Camber bolts are landing in Maine today along with some other bits and bobs I ordered. Hopefully this weekend I can get the lift in, and get the rack out of storage and get it on too. I think I am going to wrap one of my wheels/tires with some foam or cardboard or something to add the width and diameter of the new tires and mount it up into the wheel wells front and back and see if anything is going to rub etc. That way if I need a spacer I can order them before I order the tires.

I think you'll have to make rear axle drop brackets if you don't want the angle of the axle affected. I plan on a 3-4" lift and I'm just gonna push that axle down. It will be way too much fab work to make axle mount drop brackets. I took a quick look one day to see if some sort of bolt in drop brackets could be made. Didn't look remotely easy to me.

Praying I can get my spacer bits next week. Didn't have time to get to the metal place before 5 this week :(
