For the guys that have 2.5" or 3" lift springs. Is the ride quality greatly reduced? I would think since you are extending the shock with the springs you are limiting the amount of downward travel the shock has and they will bottom out.

I can't say but I can tell you that with Road Bully Spacers the ride is unaffected.
 












I figured with the RB spacers the ride, for the most part, would be unaffected since your only spacing the strut from the frame. I might go with the RB spacers but my rear springs are cracked and I need new ones anyway so I figured I'd just get the lift springs while I'm at it.

I have 2" (claimed) lift springs in mine; hey are in fact 1.5" rear and 1/2" front lift springs, and the ride is fine using the stock shocks.
