Hi All,
After fitting the Ironman SL i was still having issues with the front tyres catching when offroad. They were only just catching when i had the wheel turned slightly going over large bumps. I took some advice of a few people about spring spacers and decided on a 10mm spacer for the front coils. Paul at West Coast said it would be fine but i could go up no further as this would put stress on the CVs. I only really needed an extra 1" of lift.
The spacers were £12 delivered and were really easy to fit. After fitting the truck went up about 20mm (front before 94cm to the wheel arch, after 96.cm, Rear is 97cm)
Tyres no longer catch so i am pretty pleased.
The spacer is just like a big washer that fits over the shocker to lift the spring seat up 10mm
