87 c10. 2.5 spindels and 2in drop coils...... I'm just a bit to low for the rims I got ... Big boy 24, but was jut looking for 22... So I need to go up 1in or 1.5in.... Has anyone used the twist in spacers from autozone or advance.... How many did u use to get the clearance you need...

Energy Suspension made a urethane coil spacer that was 1" @ one point in time. Check them out & see if it's still avail before using those 'twist-in' style spacers for the coils.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Just alittle lift

Which type of coil booster did you use? The knuckles or the black rubberish spacer? If you got the rubber type, don't cut a coil because it'll eventually break down and your ride height will go back to what it was, and if you cut it'll be even lower.

I think Belltech makes a poly one too that goes on top of the spring rather than inbetween. I have one on my s10 to level it out, but don't see why you couldn't put 1 on each side.
