coil spacers?

Post by j-top paj »

the front end of the trol is 55mm lower than the rear.
when i first installed the lift there was some difference but i cant remember how much, but certainly not 55mm
gona get some spacers to compensate for the sagged springs but cant decide on 15mm or 30mm?? :?

any suggestions people?

How 'hard' or 'soft' are your springs and how much weight do you intend on putting in rear of car? Also, do you have a steel bar and winch, 2nd battery, etc. If not do you intend on getting these as they will weigh down the front even more.

personally i can't imagine anyone carrying around the amount of 'weight' required to sag rear springs by 55mm to even out car. My suggestion would be to put the 30mm spacers in the front and if you find under load the rear sags too much then put 15mm in the rear.

BTW, i have 30mm spacers all round above my 4" extended coils.
