Hi Guys,
I've got Tough Dog springs & shocks, there about 5 years old and haven't missed a beat but I'm starting to get a bit of spring sag on the passenger side rear due to carrying the swing away spare wheel (33), shovel, pick and HF aerial. I was thinking of compensating this with a 30mm spring spacer? is it ok to only use one? Cheers

I wouldn't think the shovel would be that heavy LOL

Just put some new springs in. if they are five years old and saqggng then it has lost some of itsa strenght. All the spacer will do is level the vehicle but the ride will still be compromised.
Anyway some of the spacers I have seen are almost as expensive as a new spring.

Hi. Have you though of air spings? There is a place in the U.S. where you can get them for less than US$ 100.00 www.airliftcompany.com
