Coil Spacers
Was curious to see if anyone had an opinion on how high is too high using coild spacers on stock springs. I'm currently at 3" in the front with spacers but need to come up another inch to level it with the back. I could replace the 1" spacers with a 2" but is it better to go to a 4" coil? Thanks for any input/advice you might have.

Depends on what you're using it for. Not sure on the ill effects using it offroad, but if this is mostly your DD i'd just get the spacers, especially just for 1" more of lift.

which can be pretty unsafe if your flexing much... flex to much and you could drop a spacer lol.
id say go for the coils.
with the amount of spacers it sounds like you have
you could probly sell the sets used for 20$ea and pay for half the new coils.
and the coils will feel SOO much better hahaha

Lol i misread what he said, could of swore he meant he had a 3" coil with a 1" spacer. Yeah definitely go with the lift coil if you already have 3" of spacers..

Spacers are great when used correctly and in moderation. 1.50-1.75 is fine, a great aid if you discover you need just that last bit of room to make your setup work, but they shouldn't be depended on.

yeah, I have 1" and 2" spacers stacked on each side - they came with the budget lift I bought. Thanks for the advice guys - will look to replace the spacers with coils as this seems to make the most sense. This is just a DD but would prefer to go the best route.
