if you have a newer truck and the shocks are fine go and spend $100 on a spacer then once its time for new shocks or you buy a truck that needs new shocks just go and spend the money on coilovers

What did you end up getting and what’s your set up? Regrets etc

[@gusman4846]

As an owner of a small 4x4 shop I offer 3 options for a lift kit. Either spacer, spacer with preload, or coilover. I can install either one or two for the customer to test out for an extra fee. It's more often that a preload with spacer will be chosen to control the extra weight of the wheel and tire package if purchased at the same time. If only the lift will be purchased, it's just the spacer. Just a thought.

[@tjgrafiks]

where are you located and do you make custom kits? I want a coilover system for my 2008 Honda Crossroad. It's a Japanese model not sold in the US bcuz they didn't want to compete with the Element

[@highpro1394]

Save your money and wait to buy a quality lift kit. It will save you in the long run and maintain your factory geometry. Also, running bigger wheels and tires puts more stress on the ifs. The necks of your front shocks are small and not as beefy as good coilover shocks which can handle the heavier wheel and tire setups. Save for BDS coilovers, ready lift bilsteins or icon coilovers or bulletproof suspension which uses icon coilovers.

[@giuliocalvelli3202]

You didn't mention about upper control arm replacement option so it retains the factory's geometry.

[@johnmadsen37]

Yes, if you want to have useful travel in the suspension. Most people are retards and do it for looks versus functionality. Plus they never really do any trails to use their stock suspension. Screw them losers.

[@HorizonPaintingHawaiiLLC]

I went with a zone 6” it seemed a little beefier, and used vertex coil overs. Seemed like a good middle ground and I have no complaints.

[@buffalobmf]

I use spacers if i have brand new shocks on already. If they arnt new like a used truck or if i had the truck for a while then I’ll replace it or replace the spacer with a coilover

[@carljr.99]

I'm the in-between on this because I know coil-overs are good, but I don't want to pay 3k for coil-overs and then use cheap tires. I think full replacement strut like what Mcgaughy's offers is the best of both worlds because of price and ride. It would leave open more of a budget for decent tires also.

Jesus, I didn’t realize you were talking 6” spacer kits, I thought you were speaking on leveling kits. Didn’t know you could have a 6” spacer. lol

[@ZombifiedWatermelon]

Another thing to consider: Does your truck need new struts and shocks. A friend recently bought a 2018 F-150 with 70k on it. He was just gonna go for the spacer leveling kit (Mammoth) but I talked him into the full strut/shock kit, once we got it in and drove it......WOW.....The difference in ride quality was night and day. The factory struts and suspension had been doing an ok job but at 70k they were definitely getting worn out.

[@shermellow]

I wonder when or if any more companies are going to look into foam cell technology like Ironman 4x4 has. There systems are less expensive than coilovers and blow both performance and ride quality out of the water comparing directly to a remote reservoir system. My shop has installed a couple hundred of their kits so far and our customers love them. We used to focus on either spacer kits or Icon/ King systems but when we can get an Iroman foam cell pro kit installed for only 300-500 more than a spacer kit and it rides nicer than a comparable coilover kit why bother.

[@HamBone86]

I actually have both, I keep my coil overs at the lowest height (2.5”) for a better ride with a 1.5 inch spacer on top making it 4” total.

[@jshapiro34]

So the longer strut in the factory spring he's referring to is that for example the 5100 upgrade in the superlift because I really didn't understand the difference in kits when I bought for my ram 1500 6inch I just saw cheap superlift shocks vs lifetime warranty bilstien upgrade.....and I went with superlift over rough country because it seems like every 10 people you talk to a shock has always failed in like less than 20k

I've been super confused lately with in coil spacers vs top hat spacers recently and was curious if you know if they both extend your strut or is it just top hat spacers that extend's your struts down travel?

[@thwrkmns70]

A top hat lengthens the overall length of the strut by adding inches to the top." It won't change the pre-load or ride quality. Coil spacers add preload to the spring as they're installed between the spring and top of the strut - forcing the truck up and creating a stiffer ride on the same spring. Coilovers replace the entire strut/spring combo with a longer strut/spring combo (think strut and tophat as one piece).

[@mallkrawlerz620]

Do either of the methods affect your travel or ground clearance? I’ve heard that spacer kits don’t actually improve your off-road experience or give you more ground clearance and that they are an appearance vs greater off road capabilities like a complete coil over or strut replacement. Taking the obvious, stiffer ride for aggressive off-roading from a coil over, What else does it do that a spacer doesn’t?

[@DoubtingThomas333]

Spacers give you more down travel and less up travel. A longer shock and spring setup will allow you to maintain up travel (that the vehicle was designed with) and give you more down travel, helping you in off road driving / over landing etc. You want slightly higher spring rates for offroading with more lift than stock, but it is really dependent on your GVM and GCM as to what those numbers should be. You don't really need longer shocks if you aren't lifting more than 2 inches (with a spacer kit). It can be prudent to install longer / taller bump stops with a spacer kit though, just to make sure the shocks don't get over compressed. Peace

My local offroad shop strongly advises me against using spacer struds, citing problems with stability and ball joints. How accurate is this? I see so many use it and have no problems - what are you guys take on this?

[@CustomOffsetsTV]

All depends, we've ran them on numerous vehicles for 5+ years with zero issues, any modifications like bigger wheels/tires/spacers etc will put added stress on ball joints/wheel bearings, to what degree depends on how you drive, what you're running for a setup etc!

What would you recommend for a daily driver on a newer Kia Sorento? Just want enough lift to pull up to a curb and not hit the bottom of front bumper.

[@CustomOffsetsTV]

That would depend how close it is now. You could do a rough measure of how much you need to raise it by parking next to a curb and comparing!

Thanks for the information Quick question I have 4inch lift Nissan Titan 06’ and want to go with coil overs but I’m being told I can’t because there isn’t any company that has a coil over for my specific truck specs. Any where you can help give me some suggestions or idea on what I can do to get a new suspension kit?

[@jroll0410]

Forgive my ignorance as im still trying to figure out whats best.. but with coilovers shouldn't you still do the diff drop, relocate the sway bar replace the knuckles etc? If so wouldn't you be better served, assuming you're 9n. A fixed budget atm, to get the spacer kit that comes w all that stuff and then Replace the spacer/stock shock combo w something better when you're able or they wear out?

[@CustomOffsetsTV]

jroll0410 definitely an option! A steel strut spacer will not “wear out” really, unless it gets so rusty that it’s looses its strength- but that would take ages.

I have a 2018 silverado with 15k. I want a 4 or 4.5 lift but with the same or better ride quality. What you think is better????

[@Ho_Lee_Chit]

Does the rough country coil overs have an adjustable ride height like some others do?

[@CustomOffsetsTV]

They do

Can you order a strut replacement for a 6.5 zone lift kit? For a Chevy Silverado 1500 4wd.
