Default coil spring bucket
coil spring buckets,any body ever consider bolting these to the front axle to raise where the bottom of the coil mounts to add some lift it will also secure the coil spring much better than the stock set up

I would be easyer to put a coil spacer on the top. don't know how much $$ they are but would imagine they are more $$ then a spacer too.

Not trying to knock the idea... it would/will work. but 80$ is almost the cost of lift springs too...
