Yeah, keep us posted. I went out and bought the spacers that kj referenced at Home Depot. They were only $4 each so I figured I would go that route first. Don't have them on yet to give any feedback.

How did you install the spacers? Do you need any special tools ?

Would a set of COIL SPRING COMPRESSORS FOR VINYL-COATED & NON-COATED SPRINGS make it easier?

Whats the best way to get em in there...do you take the whole strut assembly down from the top bolt or separate the shock from the strut in the middle.
Thanks

Thanks

Now I just need to decide what springs to try EPI, Ranger, ATV Outfitters or Big Bucks

Yes you need to disasemble the strut from the top. Put the spacer on under the spring with the factory washer ontop of the new spacer and reinstall..
