A 2" spacer is too much to correct for bumper sag...typically, none, or 3/4", etc...is used, etc.

you could end up with 5" of lift like that, etc.

The OME kit comes with trim spacers to correct this issue does it not?

If TEEJ says it's too much- it's too much. Trust him he knows what he is talking about.

i am considering putting a 1" spacer on the front of my OME HD lift. I am happy with the way it looks right now, but I have the shrockworks mid-width and the warn powerplant on the way.

It won't hurt anything to leave them in and if you think it is too much after you get the bumpers on spacers are easy to swap out.

Wouldn't you want longer control arms and maybe a drop pitman arm with that much lift?
