I've been looking at getting some small coil spacers to even out my OME lift which is sagging at the front. The front already has a 10mm spacer but sits about 40mm lower than the rear.

I've read online that a 10mm spacer will actually give ~18mm of lift, so taking that into account I was thinking of taking the 10mm spacer out of the front and putting a 30mm spacer in, and then a 10mm spacer in the back, which should reduce the difference to ~22mm. Thoughts on this?

The other thing is I don't understand why a 10mm spacer would give 18mm of lift, the only explanation I could find online explained it in the context of an IFS set up which did make sense, but is this still true for a solid axle set up?

Cheers

A 10mm spacer will only give you 10mm of lift, IFS is totally different.
