Default Spacer to raise rear end...does it exist?! (CR-V)

Hi guys,

I thought i'd post this here since this forum deals with the SUV's of Honda.

anyways, i'm searching for spacers like the pic below that go between the top-hat and the car body. Does anyone know if they ever made these for the CR-V? if so, who makes them? Thank you for any input you can provide

ps - this is for my EG. rear suspension is slammed and the spring is maxed out for height with the short-stroke damper.

The lift blocks can be made. I've seen them on a Ridgeline.

UPDATE!

problem solved, custom CNC'd spacers and extended studs were made thanks to my local shop (Evogarage)!
