    SO anyone know, does it matter if I stack the 1/4" leveling spacer on top of the 1/2" spacer for a full lift on the eibach coils?

    Doesn't sound fun. Plus I would have to tax whoever bought them my time and gas for picking them up.

    Don't stack lifts period. How much lift ate you wanting to get? Keep in mind my coilovers are recommended to be set @ 2.5~ inches of lift

    So the kings come set at 2.5? Or do you have to raise it to 2.5?
    Really I wanted to get 4 inch lift. But was going to do 3 to clear my next set of tires. 305/70/16

    Not advisable. CV angles would be shit as well.

    On the brighter note! My aal+ tsb on factory leafs, carry a load great with the foxys in the back. Came together well for me. Nice and firm, like a good pair of breast implants.

    I would say go for it! How much lift does the eibach coils give? As long as all together you don't go above 3" you should be ok. Anything above that ur going to be rubbing the uca on the coil.


    I have my adjustables set to 2.5" with a 2" spacer and barely got 2.5" total. I'll have to get some ome coil springs to I can remove the spacer.

    If you wanted a 4 inch lift you should have gotten a RCD 4.5 inch drop bracket lift

    Keep in mind they have spacers that go on top of the top plate and others that go between the coil and top plate. U can't over extend it with the spacer on top.

    The problem with stacking top plate spacers is you will bottom out on the shock NOT the bump stop. Thus leading to broken shocks if used to hard. I'm on my phone and can't post the pics but they're are many pictures out there of shocks with spacers that failed.

    So I understand the Whole thing about spacer and don't do it. Well sort of. But if these kings are adjustable up to 2.75. Wouldnt that be a "spacer" in it's own way?
