When I put on my bumper and winch I just installed $20.00 3/4 inch coil spacers to bring it back up to the original lift height.

Hahahaha. Is that for real?! Make bull sh##, and sell bull sh## to customer.

You can buy new front coils for half the price. Or spacers for next to nothing.

Other than the cost, the problem I have with them is the minimum lift heights - 1" front, 2" rear. So assuming a normal front rake, you are looking at around 3" up front to level it with the rear spacers at their lowest setting. And if you are ending with a 3" lift, why not go with coils and extra components for caster/axle centering/swaybar angles/brakeline extension/etc. I do like the idea of adjustable spacers though, as long as they fit into your build plan.

They are a nice product and really well built. They are expensive but do allow you to adjust the height kinda like a coil over shock.

I ran coil overs in my 67 Chevelle I liked the ride and the ability to drop or raise the suspension, not that I am hard core off-roader but when I go I want to make sure they would hold up

Thanks
