In 2009 there was a Quebecois company called Masterkit1 that used to sell a 2" body lift for our Zuks but I see they are no longer around. I know at the time they were the only ones who made a body lift that had ALL the bits and pieces to relocate EVERYTHING, including a custom spacer that bolted to the top of the strut tower to raise the mounting surface for the cross-brace back to its original relation to the body. I just went digging through my old build diary photos and this is what I came up with:
I think I had some issues with the holes not quite lining up so I had to hog them out with a die grinder but got a little carried away so I ended up using these 16ga plates to spread the clamping force between the 3 nuts. This was the final result, which worked fine:
It probably wouldn't be hard to get something like that fabbed up.
