Not real sure how the spacers put extra stress on the springs. They just drop the whole spring down from the factory well and the top of the spring rests on the spacer instead of the rubber bushing. (Note, if you put the spacers in remove the bushing.) Another option for about 2-1/2" of lift is to put in the OME 912 springs, that will give you better compression (up) travel and the spring rates are similar to stock. Then just crank the front torision bars to your liking and align. You probably won't have to mess with the ball joint flip with the smaller amount of lift.Originally Posted by Raque Thomas
