I just had my spacers put in my strut assembly and they are 2 inch spacers up front? Is that going to be ok on the springs? It is an old daystar I guess before the front spacer was 2 inches. If anybody has any ideas to what might happen I'm all ears, I had to shell out 100 bucks to get them put in I hope they don't need to be changed

will I end up with more lift than the 1.5 inch spacer? Will I get 2.5" our of it or 2.0" I think the 1.5" nets 2.0" so does it stand with reason that I should get 2.5"

if I'm correct you will end up with more lift but not sure how much more

The only problem I had on my old Daystar was coil bind on hard bumps.

when the spacer is installed your springs get squished so they won't have the full up & down motion, so when you hit a hard bump the spring can't compress anymore & only has so much down travel
