Extra weight - will I need a lift?
Henry Webster:
In my opinion spacers are a bit of a bodge. They work fine and can be a good option if you are on a budget (aren't we all?!), but not as well as getting the proper length springs, then you will benefit from extra wheel travel rather than just height.
On your second point. I would try and do a full set at a time and not mix and match spacers and springs.

Sorry Henry, that's not quite what I meant.
At the moment I've got standard length HD springs front and back but the vehicle now sits a bit nose up, which I was thinking of compensating for with spacers at the rear.
So what I meant was, would it be OK to put +1 springs (of the same rating) at the rear, or is this the kind of situation where spacers are OK?
Or should spacers and/or springs always be changed in fours rather than pairs?
Thanks.
Henry Webster:
I suggest you speak to Famous Four about it. Its really difficult to advise because springs vary quite alot.
One inch spacers may well work, one inch lift springs may be better, but it is really more of a cosmetic thing than a practical one.

You'll pay about £45 for a set of +1" spacers and about £75 for a pair of correctly rated +1" rear springs, I think I'd pay the extra £30 for the springs. :wink:
Henry Webster:
Me too!
