Rookie 2nd gen Q.... Ball joint spacer pros and cons
All,
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Ball Joint spacers. (I am committed to 1 and 1/2 to 2" lift with coils in rear)
I am assuming its fairly quick, and very reversible but requires an allignment, right ? I have no short term plans for bigger tires than the 31's I have now.
Thanks
David

I don't believe that there are any bj spacers available for your year yet...I oculd be wrong though.
The bj spacer is good because it actually improves ride and travel. The bad thing is you are still using stock bjs which can still break. Also if you crank in too much lift you can tear up cv boots.

(I like saying that !)Its for the 93. I have Aisin hubs to retro fit so I am not so worried about CV boots/joints.
