    In addition it has three" blocks,, would it be worth it to say but a bigger spacer up front with out shelling out a ton of money or would a adjustable shock up front be more up its ally??

    If youve got the means definitely get a set of coilovers or atleast some adjustable shocks with lift coils! Itll be so so much better than those coil spacers youve got now.

    You'll run into some wear and geometry probs up front if you add more spacer.

    The limiting factor of front lift is usually cv angles. You should snap a picture of them
