Suspention spacers

--- Quote from: "Range Rover Blues" ---Add to that if you psace out the springs you risk getting coil-bound at full compression, this can cause springs to shatter.

As RRb says you should lower your bump stops to match any lift or you risk damaging both spring and shock

Budgie:
I'm with RRB, I don't like the spacers. You can buy two new +1" springs for the same price as a set of spacers so it's not that much more to get the full set. Plus it's just as much work to put them on.
Also you have to think that if you raise the suspension, then you also raise the CofG. +1" springs are rated to cope with the extra body roll this will produce in corners but if you stick to standard springs and spacers then you'll be more unstable on cornering.

You may also have to space out the anti roll bars by the same amount as the lift you're putting on to stop them inverting on full articulation. This is true whether you use spacers or springs.  :wink:

steven, as you may know, ive fitted heavy duty standard height springs(MM4x4) with 20mm spacers, for an accurate lift

along with +2" procomp shocks and rear re-location cones

this setup works very well off road and still handles well on road

mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
id go plus two spacers.
springs are for more travel which for light offroading u wont need. keep the anti rollbars fit longer bumpstop. job done. as for brake pipes ask simon buck at devon 4x4 . think u ll like his answer

gtomo2:
I had a set made at my old work with 1.5 inch on the front and 1.75 inch on the rear made out of old machine propshaft. And they do the job ok. Only went that route as they were free. And no differance in the handlng or wear as of yet. but i am looking at a 2" lift kit for it now instead.
