    Your not going to off-road with it right? Lots of busted shock tubes out there due to spacers lifts on the dirt.

    I highly doubt a 1/2" spacer is going to snap shock bodies.

    From that thread I'm pretty sure it was a 3". But that's a guess.

    A half inch spacer isn't going to that. If there is truly worry about that happening then a 1/2" bump stop extension would prevent it.

    I'm surprised the shocks are breaking before the ball joints.

    Reduces suspension up travel while only slightly mitigating any over-stressing on suspension components.

    Will it work, yes. Is it the best option, No.

    Many have had zero issues, and many have found out the hard way.

    So long as OP is aware of the limitations of a spacer lift, that's all that matters.

    Just remember, a blown shock tube is not the only thing you should be ready to write off.
