Welcome to the site!!!

Well now that your a chevy luv owner you've got yourself a very rare ,kinda' head turnin', truck! Most things that you'll want to do you your truck is chuck that stock carb, it'll be a neusence to you so get yourself a weber carb. Also if you want your truck to be a little faster and responsive, put a header on it with a glasspack muffler or straight pipe er'!
There are a few lift's you can buy, both are 2'' and 3'' but they're body lift's, but you could just buy 2 2'' kit's and just stack up the spacer's (you'll longer bolts of course). And if your lookin for hte info' on other body styles you might just need this too.

Be aware that some states have laws about how much body lift you can legally have. In California I believe it's 3" max. IMO, you should not stack body spacers and any body lift over 3" will look pretty hokey.

Congratulations on the purchase of your luv truck!
I wouldn't go any bigger than 3" on the body lift but if you want more lift you can crank up the torsion bars and do a spring over axle in the rear. That will give you 2-3 more inches of lift.
