I would doubt that anyone makes one, but maybe you could find a lift spring for a vehicle that uses a taller spring. Or maybe have some made.

If you plan on running tires that large, you'd be better off just trimming. I was running 36" tires on an 8" lift with TJ flares. I cut the flares up to where the top of the flare was at the body line and could have went down to 6" without rubbing at full flex or was thinking of going up to 40" tires with the 8" lift.

My Comanche is going to be on ~4.5" lift on 37's and won't have issues with rubbing.

I meant can't you just use some coil spacers? Or will that not work? (I'm not being ignorant)

This might sound dumb, but how about cutting your spring buckets off your axle and adding some metal to raise them an inch and a half. Just a thought.

Or it would be a ton easier to just add a 1 1/2" spacer on the top like everyone else.
