What are the pros and cons of spring spacers?

The pros of spring spacers are they are a cheap alternative to longer springs.
The only con is if your springs are sagging a spacers wont help much.

Another pro is i can give you discount on a set  :D

I fitted a set of 235/85/16 insa turbos to mine last week, i have a 2 inch lift and i needed to trim the rear arch by around 2 inches, i think i need to go a touch more as i can hear them touching slightly on full articulation.  I don't have rock sliders on mine, i have the plastic original things and it does catch on the front a touch when cornering and going over a large bump.  I was going to start chopping but decided to get some rock sliders made instead. :)

Disco-andy:
I have always found that lifted land rovers are a hell of a lot more hassle than just a set of springs . there are more than enough treads on that on here ( all done id think its about £1000.

In my humble opinion spend the money on a arch kit , or just cut them up to the first lip.

there are loads of discos running on 235/85 with out a lift, just trimmed arches.

I'd agree. I've had a set of Wizard's 40mm spacers on my RRC from 02-07 and on my Disco from 07-09.

PS Good chatting to you at the weekend Wizard - hope the day was profitable.

Bit concenred no one has mentioned longer brake hoses with either longer springs or spring spacers. They are a must. Otherwise... first time you drop a wheel in a big hole... and suddenly you find yourself with no brakes as the flexi hose has been ripped off.

I have 235/85's with a 2" lift... but camel cutr didn't help when on extreme articulation.

On the up side... I now know how far back to cut!
