Once you get to the three inch mark in lift, you start flirting around with driveshaft issues, and radius/trailing arm issues. Have your springs sagged any? If not, and you are at about 2.5 inches of lift right now, I would not do the spacers until you are ready to buy the parts listed above.

But I have an ARB bumper with winch, rte sliders, and roof rack, so my RR is pretty heavy. For me, no cons and no extensive modifications.   Micky_dee (Micky_dee) Member Username: Micky_dee Post Number: 45 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Wednesday, January 21, 2004 - 04:10 am:    ya that sounds like the same set up we are runnig right now. all the springs are new with the ome heavy duty rating. so i will go with these spacers then.. thank you   A.

The vehicle behaved very poorly on the hwy. I then tried the same spacers under a set of Rovertym springs, the vehicle behaved more predictably on teh hwy. I have the usual crap (bumpers, winch, sliders, etc) Ali '91RRC
