Noticed for a while now the doka sits well low at the back some days and other days it doesn't look to bad. So i finally got round to taking the springs out of the back to have a good look at them. Sure enough the near side one had snapped like i had expected. I am looking at putting some spacers in the back while i am at it as i carry quite a bit of weight some days and was just wondering if there is a downside in popping 40mm spacers in? I had a delivery recently from my builders supply and he left the mat they use to put under the legs of the crain behind and this stuff is seriously tough. I have made some 40mm spacers out of it and before i fit them i was just wondering about any downsides or problems resulting in a 40mm lift. I noticed syncro services only go upto 30mm.

Re: Rear wheel spacer advice required.
I put Syncro Services spacers in the back and got a two inch lift so if you put, say 20mm spacers up front as well, you might level off the vehicle. You could always get some new springs .....

AAArrrrGGG wouldnt fit thicker than 20mm other wise you shocks will top out on every speed bump or pothole. It will also lift ure rear up in the air
and affect the handling.
