    Greetings,
    I'm going to need approx 2" of lift to keep my front end in spec with my rear AALs with the overload left in.

    Would there be any negatives to using 1/4 thick spacers (~3/8 lift) and running the clips at 7/9 opposed to 9/11 for a bit additional travel?

    Here's the spacers I have planned.

    Besides the potential to overtravel and damage your CV or bottom out the shock before you hit bumpstops? Bilstein built the 6112 as a pretty high performance shock, I'd let it be unless you know exactly what you're doing.

    1/4" spacer wont hurt anything. But I wouldn't go more.

    I'm going to likely do 8/6 plus the spacers for approx 1.4" of lift.

    If things work out right that should give me somewhere from 1/2 to 3/4" of rake when I add 2" of lift to my currently sagging rear.
