A good friend has just bought a really nice coily but the suspension is really flat and bottoms out on the slightest bump he is happy to put new suspension on it and was wondering if you can fit a 50mm lift without much trouble and if so which is the best type to fit any advice would be appreciated i am asking for him as he doesnt own a computer.

Coil sierras hate suspension lift. Yes, there are 50mm kits available but the pretty much have more disadvantages than advantages

It's most likely the shocks are worn out. I don't know what "flat" suspension is in relation to coils. If you mean it's sagged below original ride height, how are you determining this?

Coil sierra suspension lift increases front roll stiffness, reduces caster, and adds no wheel travel. It's poorly designed and none of the available suspension kits address the design problems.
