Default What should i be concerned about

I have just recieved 4 inch coils, front track bar, extended brake lines. etc..

My question is. i guess is that im putting coil spacers on top of the 4 in coils. A one inch coil spacer in the rear, and 1.5 inch spacer in the front... The front spacers will be doubled up. A 3/4 inch and a 1/2 inch....

does anybody for see and problems....

Thanks

Most will say not to stack spacers, but I guess it all depends on how much of an inner lip there is. Also, where is the 1.5"? A 3/4" and a 1/2" = 1.25".

I wouldnt double stack the spacers if I were you.
I would just put the 3/4" ones in the front and none in the rear.

Also, have you checked your shocks to see if they are the correct length for your new setup, extended and compressed?
If your shocks are too long and you use spacers, they could fall out.
You could also bottom out the shocks before you hit the bump stops, if the are too long, which is not good for the shocks.
If your shocks are too short, you will not get much drop/flex.

I would not stack spacer any either, but thats just my opinion. It seems like there would be too much play in the setup.

BTW. where do you get your work done at around Durham?
