Hello Guys

My apologies for re-igniting this thread.

my Front struts / coil seems to have sagged overtime and now the tyre's seem to be rubbing against the control arms on both L+R sides and against with the sway bar :( .Photos in the link below. hope it works :|

Details :
3ltrs D4d (nov - 2006) bought in 2013
tyres (Maxxis bighorn 32" MT) from day 1
Rims - Toyota original 15" inches.
ARB bull bar with a 12000lbs winch.
Side rails

Before reading this post i thought of doing a TD 2" lift (approx cost would have been $1000) including fitting.

However i am not too keen in spending as many $$$ so would any of these below Strut spacers solve my issue or am i better off putting my money in the lift kit.

Mate save up and do it properly! It's not worth your life or your pride and joy is it? With all the weight you have on the front those spacers won't do much anyway!

I've been reading post and asking around for best result. Have same problem as most of us and want to raise front to be closer to level. At moment there is a 34 mm difference front front to back, so bit of a difference. 2 options I've been given for a 2 inch lift, so any advise would be appreciated. Option 1: 2 inch lift with heavy duty springs in front with comfort in back. Apparently when suspension settles front will not sag as much giving a close to level look. Option 2: 2 inch lift with 10 mm spring spacers in front.
Of course there are strut spacers and body lifts etc but don't want to go down that road.
Thoughts on which way to go would be appreciated.
