You happened on the simple, inexpensive answer. Issue every small car
driver 4 hockey pucks with 1/2 inch holes drilled through the center of
each, along with instructions for installing these cheap body lifts.

If the problem is a mismatch between high SUV bumper and low compact car
bumper, jack those little guys up!

Given the current discussion, I wonder what this crowd would say if I
mentioned that I sold my Ovlov to buy a Range Rover. (I think I won't
mention it...)

But it's true, one of the more fun things about driving a *big* SUV is
rolling over those little bumps in the road that have Toyota or Honda
emblems on each end...
