That is exactly what i am doing, got the spacers, was trying to get it sorted today but other things cropped up. When i can afford the +2 springs and shocks i will leave the spacer to raise it further.

You will need +2 shocks and possibly longer bump stops. You may also need longer brake hoses.

And it will handle like cack.  Standard, tired out springs with the body wallowing about an extra 2" above them :shock:

Depending what shocks you have, the replacement shocks I have bought for the fornt are longer than OEM anyway (big problem for EAS).
