Suspension spacers on stock oem struts recommended

[Bazz270]

Hi all

Since in Israel the only legal option is 1"-2" range spacers with stock struts only im looking for suspension lift optimal solution on my 2007 EX.

No control arms change allowed too in my case.

Is the 1.75 front and 1.25 rear spacers are suitable without any major driving experience(i mean some bad aspects)?

What the maximum spacer heights can i use without any extreme damage to balljoints or driving in general.

**using stock 17" size KMC Rockstar rims.
Now my current ride height is very low in basic offroad terms.


Tnx all.

The amount of lift you’ll get from spacers is always twice the thickness of the spacer itself. Example, you’ll get 2” of lift from a 1” thick spacer. I think most people don’t recommend using spacers to lift more than 2 inches, as you will prematurely wear our your ball joints and other chassis components, upper control arms, etc. A body lift can also be done for additional tire clearance.

Thanks!

Maybe you have an idea of any other ready spacer solution instead of Traxx or Traxda from amazon?

I see many coil over open spacers from ebay for silverado,f150 etc but not for 4nd gen EX..

Dont really need to lift it a lot..i think a new oem height body mounts plus 1inch (so i need 0.5 inch spacer according to you) will be ok.
