Default coil spacers

I've been told that coil spacers are really bad if you have over 3in lift springs. supposedly its really harsh on your wheel bearings or something like that. I've currently got a 4.5in lift on my cherokee, and would like to get a shackle relocation bracket. This may add around 1-1.5in of lift, and I want things even so I was planning to run an inch or inch and a half spacer up front instead of buying new coils.


Any reason I shouldn't get the coil spacers? Or was that guy talking out his ***?


Thanks!

The could spacers aren't the things that mess your bearings, its wheel spacers that do damage. The could spacers add lift and stiffen up a bit that's all because they are a lift mechanism and don't widen track stance unlike wheel spacers. Feel free to lift with em.
