Question 1" Lifts Question

If I just wanted to lift my Runner 1", should I replace the shocks or just use 1" spacers? What are the ramifications of either solution?

Hboss,

As I read it, you would not need to replace the shocks. However, I am running Bilstein's so I have not lifted with stock shocks.

Your options are PP springs all round which give 1" or Cornfed spacers although I believe they only do 1.5".

I am running +2" with Cornfeds in front, Downey Coils ( a little over 2") and modified rear bump stops ala Schaeffer.

And as I said, Bilsteins.

Jalabers site has info about the Bilsteins and he may have a comparison with stock shocks for travel.

I've got Bilstein shocks in mine right now too. I was looking to just lift it 1" and figured the spacers are the best solution as I'd like to keep the stock shocks.

I'm just not sure if having the spacers in with stock shocks are hazardous in any way. I.E. Have a bad and unstable effect on handling...

I've heard that regular duty OME gear gives less lift (i.e. 1-1.5"), but I have no experience with the regulard duty springs so I can't say for sure.
