ok well as expected my front wheels hit the guards
Especially when i'm off road. was just
thinking maby just strut top spacers would fix this
problem. i no your all probs thinking just go
lift kit blocks. but i just cant afford it. i can
get the kit no problem
but the cost to install it is were i have
truble. and i cant do it my salf. would not no were
to start. so does any one think i could get away with
strut top spacers just for that extra guard clearance
and were could i get just the strut top spacers from.

For a start you are probably not going to find new strut top spacers for sale by themselves.
You would have to get lucky at a wreckers or make/get them made.
Secondly, just fitting the strut tops only is going to put your whole front end steering geometry out and is not advisable.
Where are they rubbing? It might just be a bottom corner of a guard that needs a slight trim. See how the bottom right hand corner of my front guard was trimmed for when it use to have bigger tyres on....

lift kit should come with simple to follow instructions including where to start, just need the help of someone else who's done it. If you can do up bolts and use a jack, you have the necessary skills

strut top spacers are part of a lift kit. The other parts of a lift kit are exactly as easy to install. You do really need the other parts otherwise your cv angles, camber etc will all be wrong.
