    Opinions please. Poly spacers

    I'm after your valued opinions on poly spacers, rings that fit under your coils to create lift. Im only after 50mm of lift due to the fact that I've done the airbag to coil conversion on the rear & as I've put HD springs in, the rear sits alot higher. Looking to level her out. The ones in looking at have seats for the spring to sit in & not pop out & I do very minimal 4x4ing due to time restraints.
    Cheers guys

    They should be OK for you.
    The main danger is that the spring can coil bind in heavy bumps and then can snap , but if you do not do much 4WD It shouldn't be an issue.

    I had a set of 30mm spacer fitted in my old D1, same deal to level out after a lift
    I put them in when the rear springs were new, but as soon as I took it off road the springs settled in nicely and the rear dropped, so I could have got away without them, how old are your rear springs?
    If I were you I would just put some new springs in the front, as you will have to drop them anyway to get the spacers in.
    Answering your question though, the spacer never gave me any trouble and she did a lot of off road work.

    My springs are getting on almost two years now, I was expecting them to sag a little too but they would be lucky to have settled half an inch in that time, hence the long period of time before lifting the front to suit. 2 years should be enough I'd think? Have towed a tandem trailer a few times with a meter of sand in but otherwise, nothing major. Time to go up I think unless someone argues against 😊
    Mmmmm, bigger tires 😁
