Coil spacer question
I have coil spacers in my rear coils, I put them in one of the bottom twist thingys of the spring, they've been there for a long time now and do help keeping it from being to much lower in the rear. I was curious though, if I were to install another spacer at the top.. that wouldn't leave very much free moving spring left, although I'm sure the spacers mush a little bit on bumps and stuff.. would this be bad? I know it'd be stiffer..
thanks...

Sounds to me like you have trim packers, not coil spacers. Coils spacers are a whole different ball game. They just go on top of the spring (not inside the spring) and the spring keeps the same rate and length of travel, its just physically longer. That is where the lift comes from. Coil spacers are hard and do not compress...
