well you dont have to use a spacer, which in turn makes your "lift" more functional. spacers are more for look. i mean if you dont plan on really wheelin all that much or not too hardcore or anything than thats fine. the only bad thing about the 882's and 883's is they need the ome struts which are $$$$ thats why i went with the toytec badged eibach coils (equivalent) to a 883 OME and the bilstein struts set at the lowest setting. also if you wanna forget the front coils you can use your stock fronts and just get the bilstein 5100's and put them at the highest setting and it gives you 2.5" lift. and toytec sells 1/4" spacers that give you another 1/2" to give you the full 3". but if you plan on build ing bumpers like i do get the heavier coils. :bigok:
