Issues With Coil Spacers

Coil spacers are lift utensils components that can add anywhere from One to Three inches of ground clearence to your vehicle without the committal of replacing the springs entirely. Used Often for off-roading and the demonstrate of exorbitant rims, coil spacers often are trumped-up in sizes uncommon to the cause and base of the vehicle for which they are intended. Many coil spacer kits come with all the mounting hardware necesssary for installation.


Diverse problems can be caused by improper installation of coil spacers. Not taking care to seat the springs into the spring pockets during re-assembly can cause them to dislodge later, which can be dangerous due to the high amount of energy that can be released as they do so. For some vehicles, such as Jeeps, installing larger spacers nearing Three inches will require a great deal of ancillary work, such as bending the transmission shifter, relocating the transfer case and extending brake lines and fuel hoses. The largest source of problems for coil spacers relates to the spacing for larger heights.




Compression

Cheap spacers may be built from materials that compress over future, reducing lift and occasionally causing a assortment of issues. Polyurethane spacers are Frequently the finest Election to prevent compression and are gradually replacing older rubber varieties.

Installation Problems


CV Issues


Some makes and models of vehicles may experience an inordinate amount of wear or stress on the CV after coil spacer installation, especially at higher rises. To avoid such issues entirely, use coil spacers to achieve lifts under Two inches and different lift kits to achieve higher lifts.
