I know this has been done to death but I'm just clearing up a few things in my head.

What's the max suspsension lift for a GV without going down the Calmini path? I have an OME lift (35mm) atm and am looking at putting in coil spacers. I was thinking about getting an additional 20mm lift, which translates to 10mm spacers for the front and 20mm for the rear.

Is it possible to go higher then a 55mm lift concidering the potential for CV damage?

Does coil spacers make the suspension worse (perform worse?) or is it not just as good as longer coils?

Will I need camber adjustments bolts as well? I think Pedders does these and people have seen good results? Does someone know how much these cost?

The reason for this lift is so I can better departure angles since I'm always banging my H/R towbar and my OE fuel tank protection plate.

You need to talk to Bruce. He has a 2000 GV with Rancho rears & OME fronts it has nice flex.. :mrgreen:

I'm fairly sure you could go 50mm lift without fear of damaging your CV's as long as you dont go bouncing the thing and shocking them to death.

I installed a 70mm lift into my mates 98 Vitara King Coils & Spacers (Has same front end as a GV) and he has no worries. His CV's are on a better angle than mine due to the different lower control arms. & I've dropped my Diff 2" 8O have a look and see what you rekon.

You will need camber pins and they are not cheap.. I got mine from Pedders and they were $110.
