    Your spacer lift wont wear out anything any quicker than the OME will. Spacers that add preload to the stock springs tend to wear the springs out quicker, but that's a different type of lift (probably the issue Andrew had)

    Yeah that makes sense and I guess it really depends on how much off-roading your actually doing. I seen that the OME Andrew bought came w/ rear shocks. Did you decide on the load levelers above those OME shocks?

    Yes, only because I wanted to lift the rear a bit more and the load levellers accomplish that, for the price of 1 OME shock too. But I can make some spacers that will work too so we don't have to rely on helper springs and can run any shock we want.

    Did you have to use spacers for the Load Levelers? I plan to grab them very soon

    All You need is the load levellers, no spacers.

    Not a problem. Adam wants a set too. I wonder if they make hole saws big enough so I can just buy a sheet of material and drill them out....

    Probably a high impact strength UHMW (polyethylene).

    Stripped as much powdercoat off the arm as I could, then primed & painted. One down, one to go:
