Default spring spacers vs ride quality...not what your thinking

I will taking off my TF coil spring leveling kit with 1/2" spacers to install my new AEV 2.5" lift. Any benfit to reusing my spacers? I'm really wondering if they affect ride quality. They do seem to provide a better "seat" for the springs.

if you want to get that extra little bit of lift i would leave them in there....it won't hurt that's for sure as long as you make the obvious provisions with your bump stops, brake lines, track bars, sway bar links etc....

I have all of that taken care of, I think! I wondering if they affect the overall ride feeling because of how the top of the springs sits on the body.

the spacers will not affect ride quality....and agree with you that they probably make a better spring seat than the stock isolator.
