Spacers for what exactly? 6" coil spacers in any flavour sounds dangerous...

like i told you in the other thread if they were not safe they wouldnt get the approval and patened from the gov to make them. TGC is the only co. that has the patened for them ....meaning safe .
now if you do 6" you might aswell get a full lift kit because you will need to replace allot more suspension parts to go with the spacer.
rember 3" and under your good
3" or more you got to replace allot more stuff

Dude, the stock shocks would not work with a 6" spacer....that just sounds like bad news.

Agreed, 6" spacers are bad. You have to think about the angle of the control arms and ball joints. Now if you did like me and some others and do a 3 or 4 inch spindle lift and then a 2 or 3 inch spacer, thats fine. But there is NO WAY 6" spacers are going to work with a stock suspension system. I havent even seen anything over a 3" anyway. Do you have a link to them?
