Is there any safety concerns with using coil spring spacers(budget lifts)? It seems like the coil spring lifts aren't too much more than the equivilent spacer lifts. I would like a mild lift, but do not want to get something that can potentially cause problems if I start tackling more difficult terrain. Thanks for your help.

 

I dont think it will be a problem with basic trails but if you plan to do some rock crawling or something than maybe save up and invest in a better lift.

 

Nope, tons of people on this forum has been running spacers lift offroad with no problems. If you plan to add aftermarket bumpers etc. then I would look into getting a coil lift because the stock coils will begin to sag with the added weight.

 

You will be fine with spaces and wheeling it. You actually get awesome articulation with a BB. You do not have to get extended bup stop as previous poster has stated.

BTW, have been wheeling my BB hard for 2 years now with no problems. Details in sig.

 

nope, no concererns what so ever.

 

Great pics! What were you aired down to? That is some serious tire flex going on!

 

Same spot at planman with a Teraflex 3" lift with coils and shocks.

 

Thanks for all of the feedback. It's nice to know that so many people are willing to help a newbie like me. I have been very impressed by all of the knowledge and creativity people on this board are willing to share. I have been kind of hanging out in the shadows waiting for something I could contribute or ask that wouldn't come across as annoying.

In regards to my question, you guys have helped a lot. Not knowing much about this type of lift, I was envisioning disconnecting my swaybar>going over some rocks>and watching my suspension flex so much that the spring would fly out because it was sitting on a spacer. Now that I know so many guys have run this set-up(especially taking it to Moab), I feel a lot more comfortable saving some money on the lift and putting some money towards a Superchip.

Thanks again for all the feedback. I will try to get more involved with the discussions in the future.

Oh....if anyone is out in the Yucaipa/Redlands area, i would love to talk/meet to get to know more about this new hobby/lifestyle.

Cheers

 

Teraflex and I believe Rock Krawler now make coil spring budget boost kits. I'm probably going to go this route.
