    you can buy KING raised springs . or just find a set of country pack springs i just happen to have removed a set from my ute.

    With the raised springs with 18's i had like almost 4 inches between the top of the tyre and the top of the wheel arch.

    I have seen a VN wagon going around that has been converted to 4x4, almost looks like a monster truck.

    There is only one option in my view and that's to get coilovers mate, raise it up drop it back down at your own leisure and I'm pretty sure pedders do their kit for under a 1g these days. Luck with it

    Anything for under $1000 is going to be the opitome of crap.
    Also good luck finding coil overs for a commodore that are even stock height at full adjustment, let alone higher.
