Default Coil stretch with spacer

When you put a 1 inch spacer with ome HD springs do they stretch the spring or do something in any negative way maybe stupid question just wondering btw I meant using the coil after without the spacer so after it's been in there for little while

Spacers go on top of the coil, between the coil and mount. They dont "space" the coils apart.

Just a 'puck' that sits on top of the coils. No added stretch.

I've got a 3/4" spacer on top of my front OME HD's and a 1" spacer on my rear OME MD's, with no issues. (other than added height for the normal caster and driveshaft worries)

There's a pic in step 17 of this write-up, the puck is up there under his left hand.
