1/4" Spacer on 5100 or Eibach system

Does adding the taco lean spacer on top of these systems cause any loss of ride quality or effect the shock in any negative way?
I know people are pretty adamant against spacers, but I never see any negatives talked about with this.

 

Totally fine

 

2nd that

 

My next question would be, since the top clip is reserved for extra weight and provides a rough ride on the Eibach otherwise.
Would there be any harm in going to second clip (2.5") and 1/4" spacers on both sides to acheive 3"

I know there's better ways, but apart from all new suspension. Is this a bad idea?

 

You could do that. Did you get UCA’s ? Also ECG’s bushing?

 

I already did the ECG bushing, I'd have to get UCA's if I go this route which would be the plan. I know it's kind of bastardizing a lift, but I do light offroading (fire roads, camping/fishing trails) and most of my driving is highway/daily driver

 

Sounds good bro. You will be fine.

 

I’m running bilstein 5100’s, OME coils, SPC UCA’s and Icon AAL. Also 1/4” spacer on drivers side. ECGS bushing and CMC.

The truck rides great on pavement and fire road type trails.

 

Exactly what I did on my 6112's. I used lower spring settings and 1/4 inch spacers.

 

Put it this way, I put a 2" spacer on my truck when it was brand new and it drove exactly the same as it did the day I bought it. I am however aware I do not want to do heavy off roading with it and will be going with 5100's shortly.

 

I had a 2" spacer on mine first as well. Noticed no rode quality difference then stock.
I upgrade to Eibach shocks and springs a couple of months later and the ride quality was greatly improved.
I had no issues with the spacer as you said.
