hey guys, got a question for my old man. hes got a swb 4.2 petrol patrol, coil sprung, its got 2" suspension lift, hes owned it only a few months, as the previous owner towed his boat alot, the rear is sagging a bit, whats the best/cheapest way to bring the ass back up to level? Was thinking spacers.... are they ok? or hes contimpl8ing getting them re-tensioned, aware that this wont last but will this be ok for a year or so? or will l.w.b springs raise a s.w.b??? any advice will be appreciated, we thinking 2" will be good as this will make the rear 1/2" higher than the front

Air bags in the coils is a good option...lwb ones won't help really.

If you know anyone in oz on holiday at the moment, get some spacers brought back. I paid $112nz for 4x40mm spacers
