Abstract
The vehicle suspension lift spacer of the present invention fits between the coil spring and the upper spring receiver of the front suspension. It is made by welding stock flat and cylinder stock material, making it cheap to make and sufficiently rugged for the desired use. The lift spacer is generally cylindrical, having a common axis with an axially mounted shock absorber. The lift spacer has a flat ring upper attachment plate having upward-spaced bolts for attachment through the upper coil spring receiver and shock tower mounts. A lift member is a cylindrical section welded coaxially to the underside of the upper attachment plate and determines the amount of lift of the lift spacer. A flat ring bearing is coaxially welded to the cylindrical lift member for bearing against the coil spring. A cylindrical guide member is welded to the lower side of the bearing plate.
