    I'm a newbie to Kei trucks too. But from what I see in your pictures, you truck can be lifted in the same fashion as 4x4's are. Shackle extensions in the rear and a spacer on top of the struts in the front.

    Yours will be somewhat of a custom job to fit your particular truck in the front. It appears that your struts are a 2 bolt affair and the Kei trucks I have seen are 3 bolt. I believe it is slightly more complicated than simply cutting a piece of pipe and welding the adapter plates on either end, I think that there is a certain angle to the spacer to maintain the proper strut geometry, besides the need to re-align the front wheels after the lift.

    Lift pros....any tips?
