Coil spacers

Post by rob-mu »

Got some 33's lieing around and want to put them on my new landcruiser prado daily/hunting truck.Havn't got them fitted up yet but presume i will be in for a lift to stop them rubbing,Has anyone had bad experiences with coil spacers?.I will only be using the smallest i can get away with
Any info would be great
Cheers,Rob

I haven't used spacers before but if I were you I would fit the 33's and see if and where they rub. This will give you an idea of how much lift (if any) you need.

Hi Rob, I curently run 2 inch coil spacers in my gq patrol, ive had them in now for 3-4 months, they have done the job well and i dont have anything bad to say about coil spacers, there a cheap way to lift a 4x4, they are very easy to install and im using my standard shocks with them aswell
