This has probably been asked before but I cannot seem to find a clear answer. I would like to know if a set of Highlifter springs would be stong enough to keep the full ride height or if a spring spacer would be required also. I would rather spend $90 on springs than spend $65 on a spacer. In my mind, a spacer is a patch and replacing the springs is the real fix.
On that note, how difficult is it to do a spring swap?

Swap's not bad. Get the kit with the shock tool. I have the 1 inch spacers on the front, Highlifter springs, and a Rubberdown 2 inch lift kit. I'm probably gonna take out the spacers, just seems like it's gotta be too much compression on the springs.





Here's stock, with the spring spacers on the front.

Thank you for the information Doctah. I will have the Rubberdown lift on order later today. please let me know if you get any sag after your remove the spacer.
