Coils you could buy a specific Coil Samurai spring kit from a 4wd specilist or you could try a carpart place like here in wellington there is a CPA and they can do what they call a spec up which is they will go through there computer database and see what coils will fit with how much lift it will recieve. Coils don't have to be certed i was told but a body lift or coil packer will have to be certed. Yes you will need longer shocks if you want your lift to give you extra artictulation. Try Trademe and look for coils maybe meacure diameter and hight of your and look for a set the same diameter as your but 40mm higher (i just bought some 1 1/2" second hand lift coils for my Vitara and they only cost me $160 + $9 shipping

) Also check out trademe when you have put in your coils measure your orignial shock fully extended and try and find a set that are slighlty bigger.

Hope this help

I am about to increase the lift on my zuk to try and shoe horn some 35's on I have a 100mm lift with coil over in the front and longer coils in the back. All the shocks are rancho 9000 (and I even have a in cab controller which is brand new) plus there is replacement front arms which correct the castor for the lift. If your interested it'll all be for sale soon

You can even see it in the vehicle prior to removal.
