say that again

what effect would what have on what????

if you mean what effect on gearing then NONE

if you props and diffs then only small amount like fitting a 2" susp lift, you will need extended break hoses

Hi Steven,

I've got 1" spring spacers on mine and as yet have seen no bad stuff happening to the suspension or drive line, my motor looks a bit perkier with them on,  :wink:

I got mine from Wizard (He's a member on here) his site address is http://www.wizardbilt.com/

Hope that's of help to you.  :)

I'm not a fan of spacers at all (sorry Wizard).  If your suspension is tired then a set of new sprinsg would be better, they will rstore the lost height and give a better ride as they'l be stronger.

If you're looking for a lift then again I'd say springs not spacers, the extra height will mean you need more help getting round corners.

Add to that if you psace out the springs you risk getting coil-bound at full compression, this can cause springs to shatter.

Steven:
Thanks for the input guys, all taken into account  :)
