Rocky road in the us do a cheap spacer lift.
You could go just coils for $400, iron man do a 35 mm lift kit for about $880

body lift is not possible. Iron man kit looks pretty good for the price. 30 to 45mm lift depending of drivetrain and options you have fitted.

dont bother even asking ARB as they only offer a 25mm lift. thats it. and it will sag down to 20mm. not worth worrying about.

I found out from Steknig i think it was, who has owned a GV much longer than me, that spacers are a big NO on the GV !

I would go the Ironman 35mm Lift kit for $840, apparently the 35mm is a proper 2in lift, and thats what i am gettin for my 2001 GV ! :wink: :lol:

06 Mr Mcbear, diffrent car, but same oppion on spacer's.

Don't go over the 40mm, If you do you rear wheel alinment will be out of adjustment & will have, 1. stupid amount's of pos camber.
2. Toe in once again to the stupid amount & the caster can't be adjusted either.

Oh, just incase you don't know what that mean's, your tyre's WILL flog out, it WILL drive like a twitchy peice of shit & nothing can be done until you either get control arm's made up or remove the lift.


Steve. :P
