Patent ID: 7137636

Claim:
A generally cylindrical lift spacer for a vehicle coil suspension, comprising: an upper attachment plate configured as a flat ring defining a central axis and having an outer edge defining an outer diameter, an inner edge defining an inner diameter, an upper surface, a lower surface and a securing bolt peripheral portion; a cylindrical lift member depending axially from said upper attachment plate and having upper and lower edges, an inner surface defining an inner diameter, and an outer surface defining an outer diameter spaced inward from said outer edge of said upper attachment plate so as to define a securing bolt peripheral portion of said upper attachment plate; a bearing plate depending axially from said cylindrical lift member and configured as a flat ring having an outer edge defining an outer diameter, an inner edge defining an inner diameter, an upper surface, and a lower surface; a cylindrical guide member depending axially from said bearing plate and having upper and lower edges, an inner surface defining an inner diameter, and an outer surface defining an outer diameter; and a plurality of securing bolts having threaded shafts extending upward from said securing bolt peripheral portion of said upper attachment plate; said lift spacer having an inner diameter such as to axially receive an axially mounted shock absorber; said upper attachment plate outer diameter being such as to fit within a coil receiver of the vehicle coil suspension; said bearing plate having an outer diameter such that said vehicle spacer rests on the coil of the vehicle coil suspension; said cylindrical guide member having an outer diameter and a vertical length such as to axially fit within the coil spring of the vehicle coil spring and maintain said lift spacer in alignment with the coil spring.
