My problem is that with the ARB, front skid plate and Warn winch the front sits about 3/4 inch lower than the rear. Even if I try to pivot the spacer in the rear to accomodate the difference in height, the rear is about 1/2 inch higher than the front. I tried removing the rear spacer but that defeats the purpose of the lift and causes the rear to sit slightly lower than the front. Are there any springs out there that will allow for about another 1/2 inch lift on the front?

I think the DII spring seats are deep enough that you shouldn't have any problems using the trim packers on the front coils. http://www.expeditionexchange.com/ome/indexsprings.htm   michael burt (Mikeyb) Senior Member Username: Mikeyb Post Number: 606 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Friday, November 28, 2003 - 03:26 pm:    you might e-mail greg davis...he makes spacers for a DII, but i am not sure if he makes a 1/2 inch one. never hurts to ask...   Jason Lord (Ronan) Member Username: Ronan Post Number: 141 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Friday, November 28, 2003 - 04:06 pm:    Thanks for your help guys.
