Coil spacers
« on: March 12, 2005, 05:31:14 AM »
I have a OME lift and wanted to put 11/2 coil spacers or 1 inch, but the OME Techno in Wash said it would be dangerous to do this. I don't believe this, but he is an expert, what do you'll think. Give me some feed back.

thats what rocky road supplies in their lift kit. OME lift with coil spacers. It will probably void any warranty but I can't see it being bad. Would give you around 3" total lift?

The more lift you have the less wheel drop you get at the front. I would imagine this is what the technician is concerned about. I know when I drove mine with a 2" lift and no strut spacers it was very scary, it would lift a front wheel while cornering at moderate speeds and was also pretty useless offroad. The OME struts have 40mm more travel so won't be anywhere near as bad. Perhaps you should ask him about the RR kit?
