replacing coils on an XL-7 GV

Hey guys does anyone have an opinion on replacing the coils with taller ones (35mm higher) and not replacing the shocks? We need some more height for the sand. Would this be ok?

had the same issue with a terrano 2. Was the battery. Could also be the relay to the glow plugs. If it is worn then not enough power gets to the plugs and wont heat the diesel enough. Just an idea may be wrong..
