Coil spacers for more lift vs larger coils
Am thinking of going a little bit bigger on my short arm setup and was curious of what people experienced when they added a 1 inch spacer to their current 3 lift. Did it seem more firm vs going to a longer spring ?!

Itll feel the same, you just have to do some castor correction and possibly throw on some new drive shafts with that much lift. I plan on adding another 1 inch coil spacer when money allows for everything to do it properly (i.e shafts, adjustable control arms, etc.)

I currently have an 8 arm TF setup with castor that I added in the front. Just curious about the ride.
I have done various lifts in the past on different brands and everyone that I ever put spring spacers rode "less appealing " than a progressive spring without spacers

Also my jeep weighs in at 5300 lbs without gear and I am planning throwing a river raider full skid as well
I'm thinking the current 3 inch coil plus an added spacer will help me out
