What do you think about installing only coil spring spacers with the
standard suspension (Toyota LC 90 series).

Thanks.

Dunno about the Toyota specifically, but generally using spring spacers
raises body ride height only and may have negative side-effects on the
drivetrain, range of suspension movement.and stiffness of movement.

Would the shock absorbers have enough travel after
lifting or could they limit the outbound travel of
springs? Suspension lift can cause excess wear on
propellor shaft U-joints since the driveline angle
becomes larger. How about the steering arm joints,
can they accept the lift? You may need to change
the brake line hoses to longer ones.
