Are coil spring spacers any good?
Are coil spring spacers any good?
A spacer will give a fixed amount of lift that will never change. The coil spring, used in conjunction with a spacer, can change lift height (due to wear or a change in weight), but the spacer will never change height. A spacer will never improve the ride, and it generally will not change the spring rate.
Are spring spacers bad for your car?

It is not effected by a lift and will not change, so an alignment is not needed to adjust camber. Toe is determined/set by the tie rod that goes from knuckle to knuckle on your axle. It is not effected by a lift and is not changed… so you do not need an alignment to set toe (assuming it is correct before the lift).
